Before, you learned. • Matter cycles continuously through an ecosystem . • Living things are part of the water, carbon, and nitrogen cycles. Now, you will learn. • How living things move energy through an ecosystem . Section 3. Energy is vital to all living things. Most energy comes directly or indirectly from the sun. Because energy is continuously used by living things, it must be continuously replaced in the ecosystem . http://www.biohabitats.com/ndg_newsite/newsletter/images/2008winter/Odum.jpg. http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/103320000/103321579.jpg. “.
