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
Why does productivity diminish with increase trophic levels?
Due to poor trophic transfer efficiency, most energy is lost at higher trophic levels.
What is primarily responsible for limiting the number of trophic levels in most eco systems?
The maximum number of trophic levels in an ecosystem could be limited by factors such as climate and carrying capacity.
What is a diagram that shows trophic levels on blocks?
Energy Pyramid
Why do different trophic levels have different amounts of energy?
Some energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat.
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
What relationship exists between trophic levels and food chain?
Trophic levels and food chains are connected in number of ways. Trophic levels show the energy transfer throughout the species in different food chains.
Which term best describes energy transfer between trophic levels?
when energy is transferred to a higher trophic level some of the energy is trued into heat and is released
Which type of diagram shows the flow of energy between the different trophic levels of an ecosystem?
Energy pyramid
Why does productivity diminish with increase trophic levels?
Due to poor trophic transfer efficiency, most energy is lost at higher trophic levels.
When heat energy is transferred between trophic levels. what is always given off to the environment?
heat
When energy is transferred between trophic levels the amount of available energy lost is about?
9o% of energy is lost at each level
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.
What model shows the amount of energy lost during transference between trophic levels?
Food Web
Of energy gained compare to the amount of energy lost as heat at the second through fourth trophic levels?
As you climb trophic levels the general amount of energy lost is 90% so you get about 1/10 of the energy that was consumed by the animal per trophic level.
What is primarily responsible for limiting the number of trophic levels in most eco systems?
The maximum number of trophic levels in an ecosystem could be limited by factors such as climate and carrying capacity.
What 3 factors account for decreasing biomass at higher trophic levels?
the flow of energy: primary production higher than trophic levels.
