What does a consumer in a food chain depende on for energy?
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
What does a consumer in a food chain depend in for energy?
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of the living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level. The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level (from all the activity done by that level, e.g., running, climbing, fighting) . The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
What do you call each level of energy in the energy pyramid?
trophic level
What happens when an organism from a higher trophic level eats an organism from a lower trophic level?
When an organism from a higher trophic level eats one from a lower trophic level, it gains energy and nutrients from the consumed organism. This contributes to the transfer of energy through the food chain and helps regulate population sizes in the ecosystem.
Term for each step in the transfer of energy and matter within a food web?
Trophic level
Why does only a small fraction of the energy at one trophic level become available to the next trophic level?
About 10% of the energy in the lower trophic level is passed to the next higher level. The 80% of energy that is left is used by that lower level for life processes or is lost as waste.
A category of living things that is defined by how they gain energy is called?
trophic level
Why do different trophic level have different amount of energy?
Some energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat.
To what does the tropic level of an animal refer?
The trophic level of an animal refers to its place on the energy pyramid. Its trophic level shows what the animal eats and how much energy it gets.
What is energy that is lost at each trophic level of an ecosystem is replenished?
Energy that is lost at each trophic level of an ecosystem is replenished by the producers. The producers get it from the sun.
