Each step in any energy conversion process will?
Create energy
In an energy pyramid each feeding level has?
As a general rule, each step in an energy pyramid is about 10% efficient; that is, it take 10 units of prey to make 1 unit of predator. Thus, it takes a 1,000 Kg of phytoplankton to make 100 Kg of copepod to make 10 Kg of shrimp, to make 1 Kg of squid, to make 100 g of bass to make 10 g of human. This is why feeding from the top of the food chain is so "expensive" is terms of energy.
What kind of energy is it when you go up a hill?
when you are going up a hill by walking you are converting your potential energy into kinetic energy with every step and also storing more and more potential energy with every step if you stop after every step but if you are walking with a certain velocity you possess kinetic energy . At the top of the hill when you stop you possess maximum potential energy.
What is the step-by-step process for nuclear energy?
splitting atoms,absorbation,heat.water and piping
What step in the carbon cycle involves the transformation of radiant energy into chemical energy?
Photosynthesis
Does the amount of energy available to each organism in a food chain depends on its position on an energy pyramid?
It's yes. Each level in the pyramid has only ten percent of the level beneath it, so there is less energy transfer as you go up the pyramid. So if at the base, the available energy is 10000 the next step up would have an available energy of 1000, and the next step 100 etc.
What is the percentices of the energy pyramid?
There are generally about 10% as many organisms when you go up one step on the energy pyramid.
How were step pyramids built step by step?
djosers pyramid. He also built the bent pyramid
Where is the step pyramid?
The step pyramid is at the pyramid field at Saqarra Egypt
What was the first Egyptian pyramid ever called?
The first pyramid in Egypt was the step pyramid of king Djoser, also known as Zoser. It was a step pyramid, consisting of mastabas placed on top of each other, and designed by his architect Imhotep.
What is step pyramids?
A step pyramid is a pyramid with steps on the side.
Why is a pyramid triangular?
The energy pyramid is shaped like a triangle to show how not all the energy of one organism transfers to the next level. The triangle decreases in size going up as does the amount of energy transferred. A graphical model that is shaped like a pyramid to show how the energy flows through a food chain, how the amount of energy is decreasing and becoming less available for organisms as it enters each trophic level, and how much of the energy in the ecosystem is lost to the atmosphere as heat.
Where does each step of photosynthesis get its energy from?
Sun
When was the step pyramid built?
The Step Pyramid was built in Circa 2630 B.C.
What is the advantage of using a biomass or energy pyramid rather than a pyramid of numbers?
Not all organisms have the same mass. Consider 1 whale versus 5,000 plankton - the whale has much greater mass, but only 0.1% of the total number of organisms. When you compare mass, you get a better idea of how much energy is actually available at that trophic level. Basically, they are better to understand.
What are some famous pyramids?
The Great Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, and all of the pyramids of Giza. Even the Step Pyramid is famous. * Great Pyramid * Step Pyramid * Bent Pyramid * Red Pyramid
