A path of energy through the trophic levels of an ecosystem is called?
energy pyramid or nutrient pyramid.
What is a food chain level?
A food chain runs off of different levels - each having one living organism in it, per food chain. The levels indicate a section where energy is used up by an organism - namely the one that attained the energy.
All food chains show that the matter and energy in a food chain?
Decrease in higher levels.
What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of a food chain?
4
What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of food chain?
4
Because of the constant loss of energy, there can be a maximum of 7trophic levels in a food chain,TRUEFALSE?
True
What relationship exists between trophic levels and food chain?
Trophic levels and food chains are connected in number of ways. Trophic levels show the energy transfer throughout the species in different food chains.
Explain the reason that eating lower on a food chain provides more food energy that eating higher on the food chain?
Biomass refers to the food available for the next trophic level in a food chain. There is a higher biomass on the lower levels of the food chain, hence eating on those levels would provide more food energy.
What form is energy in when it enters a food chain and what form is energy in when it leaves a food chain?
Energy enters a food chain in the form of sunlight, and leaves the food chain in the form of heat.
Transfer of food energy from one source to another in stages is called what?
This is called a food chain. Food Chain- The moving of energy from one organism to another
What is the cycle of animals interacting with each other?
The food chain is the cycle that animals interact in how they eat each other. This is also similar to Trophic levels, and how the energy flows and matter cycles between animals and different levels of the food chain.
How are energy pyramids and trophic level alike?
The trophic levels show which organisms are at each level of the energy pyramid. The pyramid is shaped exactly as a pyramid. The lowest level contains the most energy and the most in number and variation of species. The next level only has 10% of the first levels' energy and fewer species. The amount of energy in the first level determines the number of levels possible. The tropical rain forest has the most levels (as many as 4) and a desert has the fewest (as few as 2).
