What is an organisms position in a sequence of energy transfers?
An organism's trophic level is its position in a sequence of energy transfers. It is the organism's position in a food chain.
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
How much energy moves from one trophic level to the next?
Only 10% moves up...my daughter is writing a paper on this now!
What energy is available each step up the pyramid?
Ten percent of the energy in each trophic level makes it to the next level.
Why is that only part of the energy stored in one trophic level is passed on to the next level?
This is because organisms use much of the energy that they consume for life processes, such as respiration, movement, and reproduction.
For what purpose do organisms use most of the energy available to a consumer trophic level?
For growth and energy to live, move, and repair themselves.
Which trophic level contains the most available food energy?
On an ecological pyramid or in a food chain, typically, the highest trophic levels have the least amount of energy from the sun available for the next highest level. In a typical food chain, this would be the tertiary consumer level.
What percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level when they are eaten?
1%
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 are matter and engery transferred through an ecosytem?
Energy must be transformed within ecosystems so that it is made available to other organisms. Energy is produced by producing organisms at the lowest trophic level, and then moves up to higher trophic levels to other consuming organisms.
Why are the numbers of trophic levels limited?
At each trophic level in a food chain, a large portion of the energy is utilized for the maintenance of organisms which occur at that trophic level and lost as heat. As a result of this, organisms in each trophic level pass on less and less energy to the next trophic levels, than they receive.
An organisms position in a sequence of energy transfers?
Trophic level
What happens to the energy that is not passed through the trophic levels of an energy pyramid?
It used by the organisms at each trophic level to keep themselves alive.
Which tropic level in a community has the most energy available?
The trophic level of producers (photosynthetic organisms) has the most available energy in a biologic community. As a general (but not absolute) rule, every trophic level above this has 10% as much available energy as the level below it; primary consumers have 10% as much as producers, secondary consumers 1%, tertiary consumers .1%.
An organisms position in the sequence of energy transfers in an ecosystem is known as its?
Trophic Level
Approximately what percentage of organic energy gets transferred from organisms on one trophic level to the next trophic level?
ten percent
