What 3 factors account for decreasing biomass at higher trophic levels?
the flow of energy: primary production higher than trophic levels.
What level of the food pyramid contains consumers with the least biomass?
Those at the top of the food pyramid contain consumers with the smallest number and therefore, with the least total biomass compared to the layers below them.
What trophic level represents the largest biomassin this ecosystem?
primary biomass is lost the higher you ger in the trophic levels
Do you expect the rate of cell division to be higher in an adult or child?
the cell division will be higher in children because they are younger and grow faster than adults.
What happens to the biomass of the organism as trophic levels increase?
Energy and biomass decrease as the trophic levels increase.The general rule is that only about 10% of the total energy consumed from the previous trophic level will be passed onto the next level as useable energy. As a result it takes a large biomass of producers (plants) to support the total biomass of primary consumers. The primary consumers use the energy they obtain from the plants to maintain body temperature and move or it is lost as waste. Most energy is considered to be lost as heat. This pattern is repeated for secondary consumers and so on. (This is a generality; the amount of energy transferred changes in real situations.)All life is directly related to the original energy source, in most cases the sun. The higher up you go in the trophic level, the less life (overall biomass) that can be supported by the original energy source due to the loss of energy in each level.
Do the biomass of organisms in a typical ecological pyramid increases at each level?
The biomass of each organism decreases with each level. With less energy at higher trophic levels, there are usually fewer organisms as well. Organisms tend to be larger in size at higher trophic levels, but their smaller numbers result in less biomass. Biomass is the total mass of organisms at a trophic level.
Do nuclear fuels have a higher energy content than biomass fuel?
Yes, much higher pound for pound.
Where is water vapor likely the highest above a desert or tropical rain forest?
in a tropical rainforest
Is oxygen level higher in rainforest than desert?
yes
What 3 factors account for decreasing biomass at higher trophic levels?
the flow of energy: primary production higher than trophic levels.
What influences diversity in an environment?
There are many factors in an environment that influence biodiversity, but the root is availability of resources. The more difference resources available, the higher the biomass of the environment. A higher biomass tends to mean a higher number of organisms, and where there are many organisms, specialization and formation of niches causes specification and increases the biodiversity of the environment.
Facts about bio mass energy?
The biomass from one lower level will support approximately 10% of the biomass of the next higher trophic level. Example: 100 kg (biomass) of a producer (plant) will be required to support approximately 10 kg of the primary (first-level) consumers.
In which way is biomass useful?
Many biomass fuels can significantly reduce carbon emissions if they are used to displace fossil fuels. Some types of biomass can also be converted into liquid which can be used for vehicles. Biomass fuels can be cheaper than fossil fuels in many circumstances. It is renewable and is not dependent on fossil fuels. While biomass can be used directly, it can be used to produce higher forms of fuels. Listen to mia. she knows everything.
Would you expect the spread to be higher on actively or inactively traded stock?
higher
What is the temperature of temperate rainforest's?
The rainforest rarely gets higher than 93˚(34 °C) or drops below 68 °F (20 °C)
Would you expect sound to travel faster at higher or lower?
faster in higher altitiudes
Would you expect a piccolo to produce higher or lower sounds than a flute?
Higher
