Can plants or animals in an ecosystem use energy after it leaves its ecosystem

The word ecosystem refers to the all of the living species as well as non-living elements in a particular environmental area. For instance, a lake, swamp, coral reef, forest, or a prairie would each be considered an ecosystem. Ecosystems can vary greatly in size and individual characteristics - - for instance, the ecosystem of a puddle differs greatly from that of a swath of tundra.

Despite these disparities, all ecosystems function similarly in the way in which energy flows into, through, and out of them through the energy cycle.
