How can a organism in the fourth tropic level obtain energy from the sun?
An organism in the fourth level gets food from the sun by consuming organisms in the levels below it.
What is an organism's relative position in a sequence of energy transfers in a food chain or food pyramid?
Trophic level
What does a biomass pyramid represent?
A pyramid of biomass shows how much energy the organism on a food chain is getting from its food.
Why does each level of the pyramid decrease in area from bottom to top?
Because energy use everytime in each level
Why each tropic level didn't receive full amount of available energy?
Once an organism consumes a living thing, it gets energy from it. In a food pyramid, only 10% of the energy is passed on to the consumer. For example if an organism had 1000 calories of energy in it, and it was eaten, the predator would have gotten 10% of 1000 or 100 calories. If an animal eats that animal, it gets 10% of 100 in energy; 10 calories. And so on... NOTE- This is why food pyramids have so few tropic levels
Can an organism fill more tropic level?
Yes a tree does this.
What tropic level would an organism occupy?
Primary producer
Why are there less organism at the topmost level?
PYRAMID
An organism positioned in the sequence of energy transfered in an ecosystem is known as its?
tropic level
How can a organism in the fourth tropic level obtain energy from the sun?
An organism in the fourth level gets food from the sun by consuming organisms in the levels below it.
What shows the decrease of energy at each level of a food chain?
an energy pyramid
How is energy distributed to living things in a ecosystem?
The energy provides the best picture of overall nature of the ecosystem. The pyramid of energy shows the amount of total energy trapped by the organism at each tropic level in a unit area and time.
How is energy distributed to living things in ecosystems?
The energy provides the best picture of overall nature of the ecosystem. The pyramid of energy shows the amount of total energy trapped by the organism at each tropic level in a unit area and time.
What group of organisms occupies the first tropic level of ecosystem?
Plants, algae, and bacteria occupy the first trophic level of an organism.
What trophic level would an autotrophic organisms occupied?
primary producer
What moves through an organism at each tropic level?
Energy and Sunlight Hope this helps...Kandis J.
To what does the tropic level of an animal refer?
The trophic level of an animal refers to its place on the energy pyramid. Its trophic level shows what the animal eats and how much energy it gets.
