How would a pyramid reflecting biomass be similar to or different from an energy pyramid?
A biomass pyramid looks like an energy pyramid, in that the largest biomass is contained in the producer level, and the least biomass is contained in the level of the highest order consumer. Basically, as you move up the energy pyramid, there is less energy available to support the biomass at each subsequent level.
How is matter and energy used in ecosystems?
Energy is described by a pyramid diagram (the ecological pyramid). There are 4 layers in the pyramid. The bottom layer is producers. They produce all the energy that goes up the pyramid. The second layer is the primary consumers, or herbivores, who eat the producers. Next, there is the secondary consumer layer, the organisms in it eat other consumers. Finally, there are tertiary consumers eat secondary and primary consumers.Note: as you go up the pyramid, the original energy from the level below it is reduced to 10% of the original energy from the level below it. The primary consumers get 10% of the energy the producers made, and so on, so the secondary consumers get 1% of the original energy, and the tertiary get 0.1% if the energy!See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid for a picture of the ecological pyramid.
How does the level of an energy pyramid compare to the bottom level of that energy pyramid?
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
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.
Who has most energy at the pyramid level?
Producers have the most energy at the pyramid level because they manufacture food from inorganic raw materials.
What each level of an energy pyramid is?
producer consumer secondary consumer
How much energy is transferred in a food pyramid from first level consumer to second level consumer?
90% init
What statement describes a pyramid of energy?
There are always more prey organisms than producers in a community. Murshedur Rahman

Where is the least energy found in the energy pyramid?
The last level of the energy pyramid...secondary,tertiary...
What do you call a consumer at the top of a energy pyramid?
these are called third level consumers and only obtain about 1% of energy.

In an energy pyramidthe most energy is available at which level of the pyramid?
in an energy pyramid , the most energy is available at which level of the pyramid
In what trophic level of an energy pyramid will you find the highest amount of toxins accumulate?
in the third level consumer because the toxins had been transferred to it
What level do you place an elephant in an energy pyramid?
It would depend on your labeling, but it goes right above the producers. I would call it a first level consumer.
How does the level of an energy pyramid compare to the bottom level of that energy pyramid?
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
How does the amount of energy available at one level of an energy pyramid compare to the amount of energy available to the next level?
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.
