∙ 7y agoThe organisms at the top of energy pyramids vary with habitats. However we usually call them top predatators. In a grassland, for instance, the top predator may be a raptor or a big cat. In the sea it might be a shark.

Look at the food web below. Which organisms would be at the bottom of the energy pyramid for this ecosystem?
Grass and wheat ( Apex)
How is matter and energy used in ecosystems?
Energy is described by a pyramid diagram (the ecological pyramid). There are 4 layers in the pyramid. The bottom layer is producers. They produce all the energy that goes up the pyramid. The second layer is the primary consumers, or herbivores, who eat the producers. Next, there is the secondary consumer layer, the organisms in it eat other consumers. Finally, there are tertiary consumers eat secondary and primary consumers.Note: as you go up the pyramid, the original energy from the level below it is reduced to 10% of the original energy from the level below it. The primary consumers get 10% of the energy the producers made, and so on, so the secondary consumers get 1% of the original energy, and the tertiary get 0.1% if the energy!See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid for a picture of the ecological pyramid.
How does the amount of energy available at one level of an energy pyramid compared to the next level up?
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
What are the levels of ecological hierarchy?
A graphical representation in the shape of a pyramid to show the feeding relationship of groups of organisms, and the flow of energy or biomass through the different trophic levels in a given ecosystem.

Which choice below shows the organization of the biosphere from the most specific category to the broadest category?
organism → population → community → ecosystem → biome

Why is a energy pyramid in the shape of a pyramid?
A energy pryramid shows that each feeding level has less energy than the one below it.
What is the primary source of energy for all the organisms in the ecosystem represented below?
The trophic level that contains the organisms that are the source of all chemical energy used in an ecosystem is called the producer level. This level contains the organisms that can make their own food.
Moving up an energy pyramid from bottom to top the amount of energy tends to?
The amount of energy in one section of the pyramid would always be less than the amount of energy in the section below it.
How does the amount of energy available at one level of an energy pyramid compare to the amount of energy available to the next level?
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.

Why are there usually fewer organisms at the top of an energy pyramid?
The energy pyramid has a broad base to support the next level of organisms, then gets narrower as each layer is added. Each upper level eats more than one ie many organism from the layer below it. Therefore, there has to be more organisms and more energy trapped in lower layers to give energy to the upper layer. There is more grass than rabbits, there are more rabbits than hawks. There is more energy in the grass layer than the layers above it.

Which organism in the food web below gets energy directly from ants?
Frog And

What is the best source of energy for an ecosystem?
Sun is best source of energy in ecosystem , as the sunlight is essential part of photosynthesis , so the PRODUCERS (plants , algaee etc ) prepare their food from it ,which in turn helps in survival of ecosystems.
