Because each consecutive levels contains fewer organisms than the level below

Which is the lowest energy level that contains d orbitals?
The lowest energy level that has F orbitals is the fourth energy level. The Atomic orbital of any atom only contains 2 electrons.
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.
The second energy level contains how many electrons when it is full?
The second energy level contains eight valance electrons when it's full.
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.
How does the level of an energy pyramid compare to the bottom level of that energy pyramid?
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
What does a consumer in a food chain depende on for energy?
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
What does a consumer in a food chain depend in for energy?
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
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).

Is the basic level in food chain?
The basic level of the food chain is the producer level. This level contains plants that make their own food.
Which level the energy pyramid contains the most energy?
The bottom level which contains plants has the most energy. This is because they get their energy directly from the sun while other animals get it from plants themselves, or other animals. Animals cannot absorb 100% of the energy when they eat plants so the level of energy degrades all the way to the top of the food chain. Each animal gets less and less % of the energy the plant had in the first place.
What is the number of the lowest energy level that contains an f sublevel?
The 4th energy level is the lowest that contains and f sub-level
What level of the energy pyramid contains the most energy?
The bottom of the pyramid contains the most energy.
What does a consumer in the food chain depend on for energy?
What does a consumer in a food chain depend of for energy?
How many electrons does phosphorus have in its outermost principal energy level?
The total number of electrons in Phosphorus (P) is 15 (its atomic number). The first energy level contains 2, the second energy level contains 8, and the third energy level contains 5.
Which is the lowest energy level that contains d orbitals?
The lowest energy level that has F orbitals is the fourth energy level. The Atomic orbital of any atom only contains 2 electrons.
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.
The second energy level contains how many electrons when it is full?
The second energy level contains eight valance electrons when it's full.
