A flock of sheep are grazing in a field. As they eat, the sheep break down the molecules in the grass, which releases energy. Which form of energy is stored in the grass?

If nothing eats the hawk what might eventually happen to the energy that is stored in its body?
It could be consumed by scavengers or broken down by decomposers.
If a snake receives 200 calories of energy from eating a rabbit how much of that energy would be passed on to the hawk?
15
What are the four levels in an energy pyramid?
energy source(sun)>producer(grass)>primary consumer(mouse)>secondary consumer(snake)> tertiary(hawk)>decomposer(fungi) All organisms die and get broken down by decomposers
Does wave the swallow love jet the hawk?
No they are just friends.
What did the Wright brothers choose as their testing grounds?
Kitty Hawk
Only about 10 percent of the energy in an organism is passed on to the next level of a food chain. Look at this food chain grass and rarr rabbit and rarr hawk What percentage of the energy stored b?
Well think about it. If only 10 percent energy goes around. Do the math
What does an energy pyramid represents Which principle of ecology?
An energy pyramid is the graphical representation of the trophic levels (nutritional) by which the incoming solar energy is transferred into an ecosystem. The source of energy for living beings on Earth is the Sun.
What is the original source of energy for the hawk?
well it would matter what the hawk had ate if a hawk ate a snake he would gain energy from eating the snake but also other things that the pray ate so i wold say its grass.
What is the correct food chain for grasshopper bird grass hawk?
Theanwer is hawk to snake to mouse to grass

If nothing ever this hawk what might eventually happen to the energy that is stored in its body?
It could be consumed by scavengers or broken down by decomposers.

Which living thing does the hawk eat . The rabbit snake mouse or the grass?
Out of the four choices - the ONLY item the hawk wouldn't eat - is the grass !
How does a consumer get its energy?
A consumer gets its energy in multiple ways.If the consumer is low on the food chain like a prairie dog it will get its energy from producers, such as grass that use photosynthesis.If the consumer is in the middle of the food chain like a hawk it would get its energy from eating the prairie dog and also gain the leftover energy from the grass the prairie dog ate.Last but not least is if the consumer is high up in the food chain like a coyote.The coyote will get its energy from eating the hawk which in turn will give it leftover energy from the prairie dog. It could also give some energy from the grass to the coyote but that's not very likely. So basically a consumer gets its energy by what it eats. I hope this helped:)

What is it called when a hawk eats a mouse that eats grass?
You COULD be talking about a food chain,. ie, The hawk would be at the top of the food chain and the grass at the bottom. An extention to your example could be, "A Hawk eats a mouse which eats bugs which eat grass" An alternate answer could also be... "it is called Eating"
Why are there only 3-5 trophic levels in an ecosystem?
There are only a few trophic levels in an ecosystem because as a trophic level consumes, it only reiceves 10% of the energy in the previous level. There are only few trophic levels because as the feeding levels continue (like grass --> rabbit --> hawk) energy is lost. Most of it, you learn, is lost through heat. By the time it gets to the top level, there just isn't enough energy to continue the food chain. (that's what that is). I know its hard to imagine that grass has more energy than a hawk but the grass gets energy from the sun which is a lot of energy. The person before did mention the 10% thing which is also true.
