Top: Tertiary Consumers (carnivores that eat other carnivores)
Bottom: Producers (plants, algae, protists, etc.)
bottom
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
it contains the least amount of the total 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.
It represent the food pyramid and the bottom organism eats less as the top organism eats more.(basically everything on the bottom)
Energy pyramids start with a producer at the bottom . Then it has the consumers at the top.
Earthworms are closer to the bottom of the energy pyramid as they are decomposers, feeding on organic matter like dead plants and animals. They help break down this material into nutrients that can be used by plants, which are primary producers and form the base of the energy pyramid.
It is in the shape of a pyramid to show at the bottom it is big which gives 10% and then it gives off smaller and then smaller amounts of energy to make the point at the top.
Someone is on Chapter 2 Section 2: Flow of Energy in an Ecosystem problem 15. EXPLAIN why an ecological pyramid is smaller at the top than at the bottom.
You would find a turkey closer to the top of an energy pyramid, as they are primary consumers that feed on plants or other organisms lower in the food chain.
No, green algae would not be found at the top of an energy pyramid. They are producers that form the base of the pyramid, converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Organisms higher up in the pyramid, like herbivores and carnivores, consume the green algae for energy.
yes, there is less energy at the top of an energy pyramid
