Which of the following best explains why the number of organisms at each level decreases while moving up the energy pyramid?
because the larger animals higher up the energy pyramid require more food and energy therefore the population of the species below it can support less of the larger species.
What does a caribbean reef shark eat?
a reef shark eats a small amount of tiny animals
Are small animal animals and protist producers?
No. All animals are consumers, not producers.However, there are certain protists like dinoflagellates, diatoms and algae that are producers and make energy from sunlight.
Which is larger in a energy pyramid consumers carnivores producers or herbivores?
There is a good reason why there are more herbivores than carnivores. When a carnivore eats an herbivore, it only absorbs a small amount of energy from the animal because herbivores only absorb a small amount of energy from the plants they eat. Therefore, a carnivore must eat more herbivores to receive the energy they need to survive.
how do warm blooded animals lose energy?
Warm-blooded animals cannot be too small; otherwise, they will lose heat faster than they can produce it. This energy produced by warm-blooded animals mostly comes from food. Food represents stored chemical energy (potential energy), which is converted into other forms of energy within the body when the food is metabolized.
Why do animals store only a small amount of energy in the their boody tissues?
Animals store only a small amount of energy in their body tissues because most is used for a life processes.
Why is there more energy at the bottom of an energy chain than at the top?
Any animal uses up most of the energy it eats; only a small amount of energy gets stored in its tissues (especially muscles, i.e., the meat we eat).
Where does an organism store energy?
A small amount of energy is stored in the cells. For animals the major energy store are the fat reserves and for plants the major energy stores is starch. Single celled creatures use glucose.
Why do we use such a small amount of geothermal energy?
what is geothermal energy?
Does Nuclear energy provide a great amount of energy from a small amount of fuel?
Yes. Producing the same amount of energy takes thousands of times as much fossil fuel.
What is the main advantage of fission?
Fission releases a large amount of energy from a small amount of material
What energy is stored in a battery?
It's all chemical energy with a small amount of surface charge.
What disadvantages does solar have?
The disadvantage is that the amount of energy is small. Moreover if it's not sunny you won't get the energy.
What are benefits of having feeding lots?
The farmer is able to feed many animals in one spot, reducing the time and energy spent feeding a small herd of animals. This process increases the amount of food that is shipped out at one time.
How do plant s and animals release energy?
Through small holes
Do nuclear reactors supply a large amount of energy using a very small amount of fuel?
yes
Do animals live in the river thames?
yes, rats and a small amount of fish.
