What is an ecological pyramid?
An ecological pyramid is a diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy or matter contained within each trophic level in a food chain or food web.
What are the similarities and differences between the aquatic trophic pyramid and the terrestrial trophic pyramid?
is a wave
What the most energy efficient part of a trophic pyramid?
It is the part that has the least amount of energy in the trophic pyramid. An owl or skunk would be an example of this.
How many trophic levels are in the food chain?
There are four trophic levels in an ecological pyramid. They are primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.
What are the concept of an ecological pyramid?
The ecological pyramid is basically the food chain. So, the producers (plants) are at the bottom, then herbivores (plant eaters), then above them are the omnivores or carnivores, and then the most powerful and top of the food chain animals are at the top of the pyramid.
Number of trophic levels in ecological pyramid?
there can be any number of trophic levels, but usually 4-5
What is an ecological pyramid?
An ecological pyramid is a diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy or matter contained within each trophic level in a food chain or food web.
Does energy increases at each trophic level from the bottom toward the top of an ecological pyramid?
No.
Whats the difference between biomass pyramid and energy pyramid and number pyramid?
== == Of the trophic levels of the ecological pyramid, there are three ways to describe the flow of energy in food chains. Numbers, energy and biomass. See the related link for more information.
The number of trophic levels in an ecological pyramid?
The number is limited by the amount of energy lost at each trophic level. Most cannot exceed 5.
What does each type of ecological pyramid depict?
An ecological pyramid is simply a graphical representation of the relationship at each trophic level in a particular ecosystem. There are three types of ecological pyramids: of numbers, of energy, and of biomass. For example the pyramid of numbers is a representation of the number of organisms in each trophic level, with herbivores at the bottom as primary consumers, followed by first level carnivores and so on.
Why is an ecological pyramid smaller on top but bigger on bottom?
Less kilo calories being transfered as the trophic level rises
What are the similarities and differences between the aquatic trophic pyramid and the terrestrial trophic pyramid?
is a wave
What is trophic mass?
I would assume it to be the amount of mass in a specific trophic level. Thus, the trophic mass pyramid.
What the most energy efficient part of a trophic pyramid?
It is the part that has the least amount of energy in the trophic pyramid. An owl or skunk would be an example of this.
Why is ecological pyramid shaped like a pyramid?
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.
How many trophic levels are in the food chain?
There are four trophic levels in an ecological pyramid. They are primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.
