What else can I help you with?
What is the external source of energy on which the organism depends?
The sun because it gets its enegry from it to make food
What is an organism called that gets its energy directly from the sun?
An organism that gets its energy directly from the sun is called a primary producer or autotroph. These organisms use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy, which is then used for growth and development. Examples include plants and some types of bacteria.
What happens as you move up energy the pyramid?
Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
What term refers to the particular way an organism obtains energy?
The term is "trophic level" and it describes an organism's position in a food chain or food web based on its energy source and how it obtains energy.
Where does an organism get its energy from?
Organisms obtain energy from their environment through sources like sunlight, organic matter, or inorganic compounds. This energy is used for various cellular processes such as growth, reproduction, and maintenance of biological functions.
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.
Which eukaryote organism gets its energy from photosynthesis?
Chloroplast is the ekaryote organism that photosynthesis gets its energy from.
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%.
What is organism that gets energy by eating another organism is known as?
a consumer
What is an organism that gets its energy from photosynthesis?
Light
What happens when an organism from a higher trophic level eats an organism from a lower trophic level?
When an organism from a higher trophic level eats one from a lower trophic level, it gains energy and nutrients from the consumed organism. This contributes to the transfer of energy through the food chain and helps regulate population sizes in the ecosystem.
What is an organism that gets energy by eating meat?
a lion , or a tiger
What is an organism that gets energy from decomposing material?
Plants get energy from the sun and from decomposed material.
What is an organisms position in a sequence of energy transfers?
An organism's position in a sequence of energy transfers is determined by its trophic level - where it falls in the food chain. Producers are at the first trophic level, followed by herbivores, then carnivores, and finally decomposers. Each level represents a transfer of energy from one organism to the next in an ecosystem.
What is the ten percent rule in ecology?
It states that energy, when passing from prey to predator, is only conserved at about 10%. for example, when deer eat the grass, only 10% of the energy that the grass received from the sun is passed onto the deer.
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
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.
