Why each tropic level didn't receive full amount of available energy?
Once an organism consumes a living thing, it gets energy from it. In a food pyramid, only 10% of the energy is passed on to the consumer. For example if an organism had 1000 calories of energy in it, and it was eaten, the predator would have gotten 10% of 1000 or 100 calories. If an animal eats that animal, it gets 10% of 100 in energy; 10 calories. And so on... NOTE- This is why food pyramids have so few tropic levels
Why Euglena is a dual organism?
As it can photosynthesize and eat like animals .SO its both hetero tropic and auto tropic.
Why there is a decrease of organism at each tropic level as you go up the pyramid?
No
How much energy is lost when you move from one tropic level to the next?
42 neons of energy, when mixed with sound waves
What is a sentence for trophic level?
The most accurate method is to use a pyramid of energy to show the transfer of energy between trophic levels
Where do auto-tropic cell obtain their energy?
From photosynthesis
An organism positioned in the sequence of energy transfered in an ecosystem is known as its?
tropic level
Why is imposible to have many tropic levels?
Each tropic level is only able to use about 10% of the energy from its food. Because of this energy loss, there is usually not enough energy left to after a fourth tropic level to support anything higher.
Why toxins increase in concentration at each successive tropic level ina food chain?
With the increase of the tropic level, there is a loss of energy. It is averaged that each organism consumes 10% of the energy from the organism that it eats. Because of this loss of energy, the animals at the higher tropic levels eat more, and hence, eat more toxins. The toxins accumulate in the fat of the animals, and just continue to increase.
What moves through an organism at each tropic level?

How is energy distributed to living things in a ecosystem?
The energy provides the best picture of overall nature of the ecosystem. The pyramid of energy shows the amount of total energy trapped by the organism at each tropic level in a unit area and time.

How much energy that is in one tropic level will appear in the next tropic level?
Only 10% of the energy will appear in the next tropic level.
