What diagrams are used to show how much energy flows in a food chain There are 3?
the diagram use to describ food chain in animal is called a pyramid
What is used to indicate the flow of energy in food chain or web?
What is used to indicate the flow of energy in a food chain or web
What units are used to show the energy content of food?
AZU
What is energy diagram?
An energy flow diagram is normally a flow diagram showing the energy gains and energy losses of a given process. This type of diagram is often used to show the efficiency of a given system or lack thereof.
When is food turned into energy?

Does the food chain transfer nutrients from organism to organism?
Yes. Food or fuel creates energy, energy is transferred through "nutritional" content. There are several different factors that control the primary productivity of energy and biomass flow. Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through a food chain. The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow. In the study of energy flow, ecologists try to quantify the importance of different species and feeding relationships. The largest source of energy for an ecosystem is the sun.Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. Any energy remaining in a dead organism is consumed by decomposers. Nutrients can be cycled through an ecosystem but energy is simply lost over time.
Why is the flow of energy through an ecosystem considered inefficient?
The transfer of energy and matter in a food chain is only 10% efficient because 90% doesn't get broken down or used while moving through the food chain.
What does food get used for?
energy energy
Energy flow in an ecosystem is not cyclic because energy is?
lost as heat or used
What is used to indicate the flow of energy in a food chain or web?
Arrows are commonly deployed in these very graphic depictions.
Which diagram can be used to show the energy located at each trophic level in an ecosystem?
The food web is the diagram that can be used to show the energy located at each trophic level in an ecosystem. A food chain can be used as well.
What is an energy conversion diagram?
An energy flow diagram is normally a flow diagram showing the energy gains and energy losses of a given process. This type of diagram is often used to show the efficiency of a given system or lack thereof.
