Why is there a limit to the number of energy transfers in a food chain thermodynamics?
the energy of a food chain goes down as it moves up the food chain. so the primary producer has the most energy and the quaternary consumers have the least amount of energy. -kait B :)
What limits the number of links in a food chain?
The number of links in a food chain is ultimately limited by the amount of energy in the producers of the particular ecosystem.
Loss of energy in the food chain limits the amount of what?
Energy that can be transfered to the next level
Which trophic level contains the most available food energy?
On an ecological pyramid or in a food chain, typically, the highest trophic levels have the least amount of energy from the sun available for the next highest level. In a typical food chain, this would be the tertiary consumer level.
Why does the last animal in the food chain receive the least amount of energy?
it doesnt receive the least energy per animal but on a whole as a species, the top of the food chain tends to have the smallest population so it doesnt need as much energy to keep on living also only 10% or there abouts of the energy animals lower down on the food chain take in is available through eating them the remainder is spent on living (growth repair reproduction movement) and some is wasted like the energy in bones and fur and what the animal poops out basically hope this helped
Where is the least amount of energy found in a food chain?
the very top

Which organism would get the least amount of energy in a food chain plant -worm-bird-man?
man
In any food chain the total amount of energy always?
The energy flux of a food chain goes from producer to decomposer. The energy flux along the food chain is always unilateral.
What limits the number of links in a food chain?
The number of links in a food chain is ultimately limited by the amount of energy in the producers of the particular ecosystem.
Why is eating meat an inefficient way to obtain the energy originally captured by plants?
It is an inefficient way of obtaining the energy that plants originally had because as the food chain progresses the energy obtained by each level decreases. As humans, we are at the top of the food chain. Therefore we obtain the least amount of energy.
Which food item has the least amount of energy?
Tertiary consumer has the least amount of energy.....

Which organism in the food web receives the least amount of energy from the produces?
Tertiary consumers receive the least amount of energy from producers.
What happens to the amount of energy as ittransferred from one cosumer to another?
the amount of energy decreases the further up the food chain you go
What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of a food chain?
