What shows the decrease of energy at each level of a food chain?
an energy pyramid
What are energy pyramids?
Is a model that shows how much energy is available at each level of a food chain or ecosystem
What do you lose at each step of a food chain?
Some energy is lost at each level since not all energy is transferred from the food to the consumer.
Why does each level in a food chain contains less energy than the level below?
Because each consecutive levels contains fewer organisms than the level below
Which of the following is not a valid reason that less energy is transferred at each level of the food chain?
idont know
What pyramid represents the amount of energy or matter that exists in each level of a food chain?
a food web
How is energy lost between producers and herbivores?
As energy flows through the food chain, 90% of the energy is lost at each trophic level and 10% is passed on.
How iss energey transferred alonge the foodchain?
it goes through trophic levels (which is each level of the pyramid ot web or chain) The energy changes from each trophic level
Does the bottom of the food chain have the least or most energy?
By bottom, do you mean where the food chain starts(with plants) then YES :) only 10% passes on to each level :)
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).

What is a diagram that shows an ecosystem's lost of energy at each level of the food chain?
Energy Pyramid
The amount of energy that is transferred at each level of the food chain is about?
It depends on the activity of the animal in question but it is usually around 10%.
