How do macromolecules support the higher trophic levels in a rain forest?

Macromolecules play a vital role in supporting the higher trophic levels in the rain forest. Without Macromolecules, the rain forest wouldn't be able to keep up the variety of flora and fauna which exists.

What is a long-term effect of the increased primary productivity of a terrestrial ecosystem?
it can be A)The ecosystem will not be able to support as many tertiary consumers. B)It will decrease the amount of energy transferred to higher trophic levels. C)The ecosystem will be able to support more organisms at higher trophic levels.Eliminate D)The ecosystem will become stagnant due to excess producers and organisms in higher trophic levels will die out.
True or false about 20 of the evergy found on a trophic leve is passed on a higher trophic level?
no only 10% of the enregy is passed tot the higher trophic level
Why does productivity diminish with increase trophic levels?
Due to poor trophic transfer efficiency, most energy is lost at higher trophic levels.
Which of the following is the correct word meaning to feed tropic trophic topic triphica or tropical?
trophic as in higher trophic levels feed on lower ones
Why can a grassland ecosystem support more herbivores than forest ecosystem?
Because there is more vegetation and more forage biomass per acre or hectare in a grassland than what a forest can offer. Most of the forest's vegetation is 20 to 100 feet above the ground, which is impossible for most herbivores to reach. Plus, trees take a lot of nutrients from the ground and keep the sunlight from hitting the forest floor, "robbing" other plants to sustain themselves like grasses do in a grassland biome.

What 3 factors account for decreasing biomass at higher trophic levels?
the flow of energy: primary production higher than trophic levels.
Why does productivity diminish with increase trophic levels?
Due to poor trophic transfer efficiency, most energy is lost at higher trophic levels.

Why are some pollutants more harmful to organisms at higher trophic levels?
Higher trophic levels are animals that are higher up on the food chain. When animals lower on the food chain get effected by pollutants, it transfers to the animal that eats that one. And so on. So the animals on the higher trophic level eat the most animals(animals with the pollutants).
What happens when an organism from a higher trophic level eats an organism from a lower trophic level?
When an organism from a higher trophic level eats one from a lower trophic level, it gains energy and nutrients from the consumed organism. This contributes to the transfer of energy through the food chain and helps regulate population sizes in the ecosystem.
In food chains why do the arrows flow from the bottom upwards?
The energy is transferred from a lower trophic level to a higher trophic level when resources are consumed.
Which organism is at the higher trophic level - dolphins or plankton?
dolphins
Is entropy is greater at higher trophic level than a lower level?
False

Facts about bio mass energy?
The biomass from one lower level will support approximately 10% of the biomass of the next higher trophic level. Example: 100 kg (biomass) of a producer (plant) will be required to support approximately 10 kg of the primary (first-level) consumers.
