What else can I help you with?
What level do you place an elephant in an energy pyramid?
Elephants are typically placed at the tertiary consumer level in an energy pyramid due to their position as top predators in their ecosystems. They primarily consume plants but may also scavenge on carcasses, which places them higher in the energy pyramid.
Who is the top consumer in an ecological pyramid?
humans are the top predator in the ecological pyramid.
What is a coral reef energy pyramid?
Basically it is a pyramid made up of different trophic levels (trophic being the list of who eats who...but don't use this for a definition) these levels are stacked on top of each other making a pyramid starting with: Producer Primary consumer Secondary consumer Tertiary consumer Tertiary consumer would be the top of the pyramid (this is only my take on it so there may be more) Hope this helped :)
Why is there less of energy at the top of an energy pyramid?
yes, there is less energy at the top of an energy pyramid
Where is the least energy found in the energy pyramid?
The last level of the energy pyramid...secondary,tertiary...
Are consumer found at the top or bottom of energy pyramid?
yes because energy pyramid is made up of three things. Those things are producers, herbivores, carnivores. It is at the top of the pyramid because the pyramid has an order to follow. It looks something like this: carnivore herbivore producer It can't go any other way.
Where is a Manatee on the energy pyramid?
the manatee is on the top of the pyramid
What is the peregrine falcon's position in an energy pyramid?
The peregrine falcon is a tertiary consumer in an energy pyramid, as it primarily feeds on smaller birds and mammals. This places it at a high trophic level in a food chain, where it consumes animals that are lower in the food chain.
Which part of this energy pyramid has the least amount of energy?
The top predator. Only 10% of energy moves from one level of the food pyramid to the next. When heat comes from the sun. 90% of it is lost to the environment, 10% is consumed by the plants (primary producer). As a primary consumer ingests the plant, 9% of the original heat from the sun is lost to the environment and the primary consumer receives 1%. The secondary consumer receives .1% and .9% is lost. This leads to the top predator receiving less than any organism below it.
How does The top level of an energy Pyramid compare to the bottom level of an energy pyramid?
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
How does the top level of energy pyramid compare to the bottom level of that energy pyramid?
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
Which section of an energy pyramid is the largest and Why?
A pyramid is bigger at the bottom and small and pointy at the top. so its bigger at the bottom, otherwise it would have been called an energy upside-down pyramid =). But anyway, energy enters a food chain from the sun. some energy and biomass is lost at each stage of a food chain as feaces, movement energy and heat energy (especiall birds and mammals). therefore only a small amount of energy and biomass is incorporated into a consumer's body and transferred to the next feeding level. the loss of energy and biomass at each stage is a representation of why the pyramid gets smaller at the top.
