Why is there less energy transfered from one organisim to another?
less energy is transferred from one organism to another organism because some of the energy is lost in digesting the food material and to the environment as heat i.e. in keeping the body warm.
Explain how energy is transferred through a food chain?
Energy is transferred through a food chain as organisms consume other organisms. Primary producers, like plants, absorb energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Herbivores then consume plants, transferring the energy. Carnivores further transfer the energy by consuming herbivores. This process continues up the food chain, with each level of organisms consuming the energy stored in the organisms they consume.
Does herbivores level provides less food than the producer level?
I think you mean Energy. No, the amount of energy gets cut in half(I think half) every time the energy is transferred from organism to organism. Thus plants get 100% of the energy from the sun, herbivores get 50%, level one carnivores get 25%.
When an organism from one trophic level of a food chain is eaten by the organism at the next level up the chain an average of about 10 of the energy from the first organism is available for use by the?
When an organism from one trophic level is eaten by an organism at the next level up, approximately 10% of the energy from the first organism is transferred to the second. This phenomenon is known as the 10% rule in ecology, which illustrates that energy diminishes as it moves up the food chain due to processes like respiration, growth, and reproduction. Consequently, higher trophic levels have less energy available, which limits the number of organisms that can be supported at each level.
Why does the the amount of energy decrease in trophic levels?
Every step of energy transformation have loss. Progress through the energy chain, the amount of energy transferred would unavoidably degraded. So as the chain progress it get narrower to a pyramid shape.
Is it true organism at the top of a pyramid have least amount energy?
Not exactly they get less energy from the animals they consume.
What do the arrows represent in an energy pyramid?
It represent the food pyramid and the bottom organism eats less as the top organism eats more.(basically everything on the bottom)
How is conduction energy transferred?
Energy is transferred between two molecules in direct contact with each other. For heat energy, this normally occurs during molecular collisions, when the energy in one molecule is imparted to an adjacent molecule (the molecule with less energy gains energy while the one with greater energy will lose energy).
Why are there usually fewer organism in the top levels of an energy pyramid?
because it shows energy transfer and how there's more energy at the bottom of the pyramid with the producer and less and less energy as the consumers eat them because they burn out that energy
Which of the following is not a valid reason that less energy is transferred at each level of the food chain?
idont know
When energy is transferred to air what happens to the particles in air?
When energy is transferred to air, the particles in the air gain kinetic energy and move faster, increasing their temperature. This can cause the air to expand and become less dense, leading to changes in pressure and volume.
How is heat energy transferred with convection?
Heat energy is transferred through convection when a fluid (liquid or gas) is heated, causing it to expand and become less dense. The warmer, less dense fluid rises and is replaced by cooler, more dense fluid. This creates a circulating flow, transferring heat energy throughout the fluid.
