because the producer is the main part of it and then lets say planton eats it then and worm will eat the planton a bird will eat the worm and so on

Can fewer organisms be supported at each level because there is less?
food/energy
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 happens to the amount of energy available to each successive trophic level in a food chain?
It decreases because there are less and less animals as you go up.
Why are the numbers of trophic levels limited?
At each trophic level in a food chain, a large portion of the energy is utilized for the maintenance of organisms which occur at that trophic level and lost as heat. As a result of this, organisms in each trophic level pass on less and less energy to the next trophic levels, than they receive.
Each trophic level has how much less energy?
It has about 10% less energy.
How much energy is available at each level of energy pyrimaid?
The higher the pyramid gets the less energy each level receives so you get 10%at each level that the energy is consumed
Why is there a decreasing number of organisms in each feeding level of the ecosystem?
Because there is less energy available at each feeding level, there is a limit to how many organisms can be a part of each progressive level.
How does a decrease in the amount of each trophic level affect the organization of an ecosystem?
Because there is less energy available at each feeding level, there is a limit to how many organisms can be a part of each progressive level.
When is the force of gravitation less when it's between two objects?
The mutual force of gravitation drawing two objects toward each other is less when the product of the masses is less or when they're farther apart.
What does the term energy mean as it refers to ecosystems?
Energy pyramids are always slopping because less energy is transferred from each level than was paid into it. The plants and other green organisms produce the food for the web. But they need to use some of the energy for growth and for reproduction (90%).That leaves about 10% for the next level. That level also needs energy for growth and reproduction, so that leaves 10% of that first 10% for the third level.Since this works this way, each level is smaller and smaller. The number of species at each level competes for food with the others in that level.
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.
