Solution
The laws of thermodynamics govern the energy flow in the ecosystem.
According to the first law of thermodynamic, the energy can be transformed from one form to the other form, but it can neither be created nor destroyed.
According to the second law of thermodynamics, when energy is put to work, a part of it is always converted in un-useful form such as heat mainly due to friction and radiation.
