Analyze the flow of energy through a food chain that contains four tropic levels?

Four tropic levels are very rare and are found only in tropical rainforests. Consider the first level which are grasses and green plants. They absorb sunlight. If they have 100% of the energy at these levels, the next level will only get 10% of that 100% as energy for their metabolic needs.
This 10% will be the base for the next level. They will only get 10% of 10% for their energy needs. That is 1%.
To have enough energy for the forth level, only 10% of 1% will be passed on. That is 0.001%. Not very many animals can live on that.

What is the lowest level of the energy pyramid that contains carnivores?
levels c and d
What element contains three unpaired electrons in its third energy levels?
aresenic
How can you determine the number of energy rings an atom has by looking at the periodic table?
The number of energy levels is equal to the period number of the element. Through a group, the number of energy levels increases. All the elements in a period has the same number of energy levels.
Why does each level in a food chain contains less energy than the level below?
Because each consecutive levels contains fewer organisms than the level below
How many energy levels does arsenic have?
Arsenic has 8 levels of energy.
How are the electrons arranged in energy levels?
The innermost energy level always contains two electrons and the rest are arranged in 8s. for example the energy levels of calcium- 2,8,8,2. calcium contains 20 electrons. once the energy levels are filled upto 8 electrons then we move from onto the next energy level. hope this makes sense lol :)
What is the lowest level of the energy pyramid that contains carnivores?
levels c and d
How matter and energy move through an ecosystem?
Energy and matter (mass) move through ecosystems from the bottom of the pyramid to the top. The bottom contains most of the matter and therefore the most energy. About 10% is passed to the second level. About 10% of that 10% is passed to the third level. Most ecosystems have three levels as there is not enough energy for a fourth level. Except in tropical rainforest they are fourth levels but no where else.
What element contains three unpaired electrons in its third energy levels?
aresenic
How is energy is transferred through trophic levels?
Trophic levels are the positions of organisms in a food chain. Energy is transferred through the trophic levels through ingestion at each level.
How can you determine the number of energy rings an atom has by looking at the periodic table?
The number of energy levels is equal to the period number of the element. Through a group, the number of energy levels increases. All the elements in a period has the same number of energy levels.
What variables always decreases as it flows through the trophic levels?
Energy
How does energy and matter move through an ecosystem?
It gets converted into energy.
Can electrons change energy level?
yes, electrons may change energy levels through a gain or loss of energy.
Characteristics of the series of levels surrounding the nucleus?
Energy levels or Energy
Which column on the periodic table contains elements with completely filled outer energy levels?
Group 18 or the noble gases.
What column in the periodic table contains elements with completely filled outer energy levels?
This is the group 18, noble gases.
