The cycling of matter through all of the organisms, populations, and ecosystems of earth is ultimately powered by what form of energy?

A. Nuclear
B. Light
C. Chemical
D. Kinetic

B. Light

Explanation:

The cycling of matter through all of the organisms, populations and ecosystems of the earth is ultimately powered by the light energy from the sun.

All organisms uses the light energy from the sun to derive other forms of energy for their own use.

Light energy is taken into the ecosystem by plants by the process of photosynthesis. During this process, light energy is converted to chemical energy which is stored in organic molecules. This chemical energy is therefore transformed into other forms of energy available in the ecosystem.

That would be a working theory.

The return of the wolf to yellowstone national park will probably affect the bird population to some degree, not significantly. while wolves will hunt birds when necessary, they prefer to hunt larger prey. the bird population will most likely only be affected when hunting is scarce for the wolves. birds of prey will also probably not be affected as much as other birds who spend more time on the ground hunting for food as the tend to spend more time in the air or in trees since they do not need to stay on the ground for long due to the nature of the way they hunt.
