78% nitrogen in the air

Nitrogen is fixed by bacteria and converted into Ammonium

Nitrogen can now be used by organisms in the ecosystem

CO2 is released by Animals and plants through respiration

CO2 is also released in factory plants and such

CO2 is used by plants for photosynthesis, in turn releasing O2

Organic Carbon is released into the soil

As higher trophic levels of animals eat lower trophic level organisms, the energy gained from consuption is 1/10

Food chains demonstrate on singular linear hierarchy of food consumption

Food Webs, on the other hand, demonstrate multiple feeding relationships in the entire ecosystem.
