What else can I help you with?
What happens to the amount of energy available to each successive trophic level in a food chain?
It decreases because there are less and less animals as you go up.
Why do you see fewer and fewer animals at each higher trophic level?
Animals at higher trophic levels have less energy available to pass on to the next level due to energy loss through metabolism, movement, and waste. This leads to a decrease in the number of animals at each successive trophic level as energy is inefficiently transferred up the food chain.
What are energy pyramids?
Energy pyramids are graphical representations of the flow of energy within an ecosystem. They show how energy is transferred from one trophic level to another, with each level representing a different position in the food chain. Typically, energy pyramids show that energy is lost as heat at each trophic level, resulting in less energy being available at higher levels.
What happens to the number of organisms as you go along any food chain in the food web?
The number of organisms typically decreases as you move up the food chain. This is due to energy loss at each trophic level, with only about 10% of energy being transferred from one level to the next. Therefore, less energy is available to support a large number of organisms at higher trophic levels.
What makes up the second and higher steps in a food chain?
The second and higher steps in a food chain typically consist of consumers, such as herbivores and carnivores, that feed on other organisms. These organisms further transfer energy up the food chain by eating lower trophic level creatures. Each step in the food chain represents a transfer of energy from one organism to another.
What is biomagnifications?
Increase of concentration of non biodegradable pollution at each trophic level .This phenomenon is called biomagnification
Each step in a food chain or food web?
trophic level
What happens when you take a animal out of the food chain?
they rim each others bumholes and lick each other out
How many points between each level on Mafia Wars?
it varies the higher level you are on the more points between each level
What shows the decrease of energy at each level of a food chain?
an energy pyramid
According to the food chain concept it takes kilograms of plankton to make one kilogram of weight gain for a human.?
Yes, that's correct. In a food chain, energy is transferred between organisms as they consume each other. Typically, it takes many kilograms of lower trophic level organisms, like plankton, to produce one kilogram of weight gain in higher trophic level organisms, such as humans. This is due to the loss of energy at each trophic level as it is transferred up the food chain.
What happens as you move down a trophic level?
As you move down a trophic level in a food chain or food web, energy is transferred from one organism to another. With each step down, energy is lost through metabolism and heat production, resulting in less energy being available for the next trophic level. This is why organisms at higher trophic levels typically have fewer individuals compared to lower trophic levels.
