Energy Flow - Energy is the capacity to do work. Solar energy is transformed into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis, and is stored in plant tissue and then transformed into mechanical and heat forms during metabolic activities. The energy, in the biological world, flows fro..

1) Animals release water into the atmosphere by respiration in the form of vapours or to soil as fluid excretion. 2) Water returns to the environment after the death and decay of organisms (plants and animals). 3) A large part of water is given back to nature by plants, as they lose most of the ab..
