How are energy pyramids and trophic level alike?
The trophic levels show which organisms are at each level of the energy pyramid. The pyramid is shaped exactly as a pyramid. The lowest level contains the most energy and the most in number and variation of species. The next level only has 10% of the first levels' energy and fewer species. The amount of energy in the first level determines the number of levels possible. The tropical rain forest has the most levels (as many as 4) and a desert has the fewest (as few as 2). See links below:
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.
What is a food chain level?
A food chain runs off of different levels - each having one living organism in it, per food chain. The levels indicate a section where energy is used up by an organism - namely the one that attained the energy.
A path of energy through the trophic levels of an ecosystem is called?
energy pyramid or nutrient pyramid.
What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of a food chain?
4
What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of food chain?
4
What is the label that you use in a food chain or a food web to show the energy levels?
Calories
Because of the constant loss of energy, there can be a maximum of 7trophic levels in a food chain,TRUEFALSE?
True
All food chains show that the matter and energy in a food chain?
Decrease in higher levels.
What limits the number of links in a food chain?
The number of links in a food chain is ultimately limited by the amount of energy in the producers of the particular ecosystem.
What kind of diagram shows the flow of energy among different trophic levels?
Energy pyramid Apex^^^^^
Why is there a limit to the number of energy transfers in a food chain thermodynamics?
the energy of a food chain goes down as it moves up the food chain. so the primary producer has the most energy and the quaternary consumers have the least amount of energy. -kait B :)
