Why does each level in a food chain contains less energy than the level below?
Because each consecutive levels contains fewer organisms than the level below
When the energy flow through an ecosystem is measured at each trophic level what percent of the energy is not transferred?
90%
Why do different trophic levels have different amounts of energy?
Some energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat.
As each order of consumers eat other organisms energy that transfers?
About 10% of energy is transferred from the lowest to the second. Another 10% is transferred to the third. There is not enough for a fourth level in most cases it but could be so if the first level is very rich.
How is energy lost between producers and herbivores?
As energy flows through the food chain, 90% of the energy is lost at each trophic level and 10% is passed on.
Which of the following is not a valid reason that less energy is transferred at each level of the food chain?
idont know
What do you lose at each step of a food chain?
Some energy is lost at each level since not all energy is transferred from the food to the consumer.
The amount of energy that is transferred at each level of the food chain is about?
It depends on the activity of the animal in question but it is usually around 10%.
How iss energey transferred alonge the foodchain?
it goes through trophic levels (which is each level of the pyramid ot web or chain) The energy changes from each trophic level
Why does each level in a food chain contains less energy than the level below?
Because each consecutive levels contains fewer organisms than the level below
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 shows the decrease of energy at each level of a food chain?
an energy pyramid
When the energy flow through an ecosystem is measured at each trophic level what percent of the energy is not transferred?
90%
Why do different trophic level have different amount of energy?
Some energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat.
When energy is transferred between trophic levels the amount of available energy lost is about?
9o% of energy is lost at each level
What are energy pyramids?
Is a model that shows how much energy is available at each level of a food chain or ecosystem
Why do different levels have different amounts of energy?
Some energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat.
