State two laws of thermodynamics to explain flow of energy in an ecosystem.

Explanation

Energy flow in an ecosystem follows both the laws of thermodynamic . As per first law of thermodynamics, producers convert radiant energy of the sun into chemical energy of organic compounds which is used different forms in different metabolic functions. As per second law of thermodynamics, only 10% of energy available is transferred to next trophic level while most of energy is used to avoid increasing disorderness.
