There is always one absorbing side to a pyramid and the others are reflecting. Light is focused on the flaws which are internally placed with-in the pyramid. The flaws will grab the light as it reflects with-in the pyramid. Energy is gathered from the three sources places around the pyramid. It doesn't work alone. There is know wrong way to charge a pyramid as long as all the quanta is there. This is a very lengthy conversation and can be only truly understood through a conversation with someone who knows.

∙ 10y agoConsider the first level as 100%. There is 10% of that energy for the second level to use. The third level can only have 10% of that 10% for its' use. There may not be enough for more than two levels or perhaps three. Very rarely can there be a fourth level. The rain forest is an example of having 4 levels. No where are there any more than 4 levels.

How much energy moves up the enerygy pyramid?
0.01
Why is an energy pyramid shaped as a pyramid?
This is because the farther up you go in the energy pyramid the energy decreases.
Why does the amount of energy decrease as you move up the energy pyramid?
by 10%
Does enery increase as you go up the energy pyramid?
yes
What percent is lost as you move up the energy pyramid?
10%
What happens to the amount of energy in the pyramid as it moves up the levels of the pyramid?
it increases
How much energy moves up the enerygy pyramid?
0.01
What happens to biomass as you move up its pyramid?
The Biomass decreases as the energy is used up on the way to the "top".
Why is an energy pyramid shaped as a pyramid?
This is because the farther up you go in the energy pyramid the energy decreases.
What happens to the energy level as you move up the energy pyramid?
10% of energy is lost as you move from 1 level to the next. So at the end 90% if the energy will be lost as heat.
Infer how the energy used by many living things on earth can be traced back to sun light?
Well, there is a sort of pyramid that starts with plants who gain all their energy from the sun, then moves to insects and herbivores, then to predators such as humans. The thing to remember about this pyramid is that for every level you move up the pyramid you lose about 10% of the energy, I think
Why do producers make up the base of the energy pyramid?
because they give energy to consumers and all others in the energy pyramid
What is the percentices of the energy pyramid?
There are generally about 10% as many organisms when you go up one step on the energy pyramid.
What is the energy pyramid made up of?
producers
How does the amount of energy available at one level of an energy pyramid compared to the next level up?
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
Why does the amount of energy decrease as you move up the energy pyramid?
by 10%
Which part on the energy pyramid has the highest amount of energy?
At the bottom. The amount of energy being passed on decreases as the pyramid goes up. For example, if the pyramid had 5 flowers on the bottom, 3 rabbits in the middle, and a hawk on top, the most energy would be with the flowers, and least passed on to the hawk.
