Bacteria break down the dead bodies of fish to release energy, which is then absorbed by other organisms in the ecosystem. This flow of energy is an example of the .

In a typical aquatic ecosystem, energy flows through the system from one organism to another without being lost as they are converted from one form to another., ensuring energy is being conserved in the system. Bacteria, as decomposers, play a major role in conservation of energy as well as in the recycling of nutrients in an aquatic ecosystem. The energy released during decomposition is not lost, but absorbed into the ecosystem again by other organisms, which is an example of the conservation of energy. The energy is being conserved as the energy in the ecosystem remains constant and is being reused.

Answer:

first law of thermodynamic as conversation of energy.

Explanation:

The law states that energy can neither by created or destroyed, but can only be converted from one form to another. Thus the energy released by decomposers(bacteria) from dead fish are in inorganic forms e.g sulphurs, Carbons, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and heat.

These are absorbed by the producers, to initiate another food pathways or chains in the ecosystem. Thus the energy in the dead fish is not lost, but converted by the decompsoers (bacteria) and released to the next-organisms green plants( producers) which converts the inorganic form to organic form for the consumers. In the Consumers the energy is also converted to different forms, but not lost totally, but eventually returned to the Decomposers at death, for the entire energy cycle to continue.
