Why do different trophic levels have different amounts of energy?
Some energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat.
How much energy is passed from one trophic level to the next where does the rest go?
10% of the energy is passed on each trophic level. the other 90% goes out through heat.
When the energy flow through an ecosystem is measured at each trophic level what percent of the energy is not transferred?
90%
Besides energy what moves through the organism at each trophic level of an ecosystem?
nutrients
Do organisms use water to produce glucose?
no. energy is lost at each 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.
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of the living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level. The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level (from all the activity done by that level, e.g., running, climbing, fighting) . The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
What do you call each level of energy in the energy pyramid?
trophic level
What is energy that is lost at each trophic level of an ecosystem is replenished?
Energy that is lost at each trophic level of an ecosystem is replenished by the producers. The producers get it from the sun.
What happens to the 90 percent of energy that does not transfer to the next trophic level in a food chain?
it gets lost through each trophic level while only the other 10% moves on..
Term for each step in the transfer of energy and matter within a food web?
Trophic level
Why do different trophic level have different amount of energy?
Some energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat.
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.
Each trophic level has how much less energy?
It has about 10% less energy.
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 do different trophic levels have different amounts of energy?
Some energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat.
