A) some energy is transferred to the organisms, and the remaining energy is released into the ecosystem as thermal energy B) Bacteria eat the dead bodies of organisms to release the organisms stored energy into the atmosphere C) some energy is transferred to the smaller organisms, and the rest is stored in the bodies of larger animals D) Some Energy is transferred to the organisms, and the rest is released by the plants in the form of carbon dioxide E) Bacteria eat the dead bodies or organisms, obtain all the energy, and store it in their bodies

Answer 1

Energy is conserved in the ecosystem by some of it being transferred to organisms at the higher trophic levels and the rest being lost as heat to the ecosystem.

Energy in the ecosystem

Green plants fix solar radiation directly from the sun. Some of the energy in green plants is transferred to the organisms that consume them. Only about 10% of the energy fixed by green plants is transferred to primary consumers while the rest is lost as heat to the ecosystem.

The consumers of primary consumers are also only able to obtain about 10% of the energy they extract from green plants while the rest is lost as heat. Thus, the amount of energy available at each trophic level progressively decreases as we move up the trophic level in the food chain.
