Which organism is at the higher trophic level - dolphins or plankton?
dolphins
What is needed for an ecosystem to create stability?
the number of individuals in the third trophic level must not become greater than the number of individuals in the second trophic level.
What trophic level represents the largest biomassin this ecosystem?
primary biomass is lost the higher you ger in the trophic levels
What trophic level are lichen?
first
What are the trophic levels for bacteria?
Some bacterias that are autotrophic will be on the first level, while others that decompose will be on higher levels.
True or false about 20 of the evergy found on a trophic leve is passed on a higher trophic level?
no only 10% of the enregy is passed tot the higher 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.
In food chains why do the arrows flow from the bottom upwards?
The energy is transferred from a lower trophic level to a higher trophic level when resources are consumed.
Which organism is at the higher trophic level - dolphins or plankton?
dolphins
What is needed for an ecosystem to create stability?
the number of individuals in the third trophic level must not become greater than the number of individuals in the second 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.
How much energy moves from one trophic level to the next?
Only 10% moves up...my daughter is writing a paper on this now!
Explain why only 10 percent of the engery available at one trophic level is transferred to the next higher trophic level?
between each tier of the energy pyramid, energy is lost as heat
Do the biomass of organisms in a typical ecological pyramid increases at each level?
The biomass of each organism decreases with each level. With less energy at higher trophic levels, there are usually fewer organisms as well. Organisms tend to be larger in size at higher trophic levels, but their smaller numbers result in less biomass. Biomass is the total mass of organisms at a trophic level.
What trophic level are scavengers?
Scavengers are on every trophic level
Why do you see fewer and fewer animals at each higher trophic level?
Only about 10 percent of energy at any given level will make it to a higher one.
What trophic level represents the largest biomassin this ecosystem?
primary biomass is lost the higher you ger in the trophic levels
