Explains what biomass and energy pyramids are and provides a table highlighting their differences.
University of Illinois
University of Illinois Extension: Energy and Ecosystems Use Some Lose Some
Life on Earth is possible because energy flows one way through ecosystems, while matter cycles endlessly. Water and elements, such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur are examples of matter that cycles through ecosystems.
