How is matter and energy used in ecosystems?
Energy is described by a pyramid diagram (the ecological pyramid). There are 4 layers in the pyramid. The bottom layer is producers. They produce all the energy that goes up the pyramid. The second layer is the primary consumers, or herbivores, who eat the producers. Next, there is the secondary consumer layer, the organisms in it eat other consumers. Finally, there are tertiary consumers eat secondary and primary consumers.Note: as you go up the pyramid, the original energy from the level below it is reduced to 10% of the original energy from the level below it. The primary consumers get 10% of the energy the producers made, and so on, so the secondary consumers get 1% of the original energy, and the tertiary get 0.1% if the energy!See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid for a picture of the ecological pyramid.
Is the mantle the bottom layer?
no the mantle is not the bottom layer
Why is the energy available at the top layer of the food pyramid only a small percentage of the energy present at the bottom of the pyramid?
As the food chain goes higher, the amount that is received is only 10% because the other 90% is either used up by the lower level organism or is unattainable.
Is the bottom layer the oldest layer?
no, the "your mom" layer is.
The bottom layer of the atmosphere is?
The bottom layer of the atmosphere is called the troposphere.
What is the bottom layer of a pyramid that represents ecosystem producers and its top layers represent consumers called?
The bottom layer of pyramid that represents ecosystem producers is the ecological pyramids. The top layers represent consumers. In the energy pyramid the bottom levels have more energy than the top levels.
Which part on the energy pyramid has the highest amount of energy?
At the bottom. The amount of energy being passed on decreases as the pyramid goes up. For example, if the pyramid had 5 flowers on the bottom, 3 rabbits in the middle, and a hawk on top, the most energy would be with the flowers, and least passed on to the hawk.
Who are the people of the bottom layer of the social pyramid?
At the bottom of the social pyramids peasants and slaves are at the bottom.
The people on the bottom layer of the social pyramid?
the lower class
What does the producer layer always have in the energy pyramid?
food

Where is the milk group on the pyramid?
its on the 4th layer on the food pyramid bread is bottom fruit veg 2nd milk meat 3rd oil 5th
Why are there usually fewer organisms at the top of an energy pyramid?
The energy pyramid has a broad base to support the next level of organisms, then gets narrower as each layer is added. Each upper level eats more than one ie many organism from the layer below it. Therefore, there has to be more organisms and more energy trapped in lower layers to give energy to the upper layer. There is more grass than rabbits, there are more rabbits than hawks. There is more energy in the grass layer than the layers above it.
How many oranges in total would there be in a Pyramid if the base of the Pyramid has 36 oranges and the top of the Pyramid has 1 Orange?
The answer depends on the configuration. If, for example, the bottom layer comprises 6 rows and six columns in a square layout, then the layer above will contain 5*5 = 25 oranges. However, if the bottom layer is in the form of 1-2-3-4-5-6-5-4-3-2-1 oranges - with three oranges touching one another, then the layer above will contain 30 oranges.
Is the mantle the bottom layer?
no the mantle is not the bottom layer
How the upper layer of the atmosphere differ from bottom layer?
The upper layer is different from the bottom layer because the bottom layer has more gualities to a living thing than the upper layer.
