What is trophic mass?
I would assume it to be the amount of mass in a specific trophic level. Thus, the trophic mass pyramid.
The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called?
biomass
The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called the?
biomass!
What is needed for an ecosystem to create stability?
the number of individuals in the third trophic level must not become greater than the number of individuals in the second trophic level.
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.
Why do different trophic level have different amount of energy?
Some energy transferred at each successive trophic level enters the environment as heat.
What proportion of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in the ecosystem?
Only about ten percent of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem. This is why the amount of animals in higher levels is smaller.
What proportion of the energy in the ecosystem is transferred from one trophic level to the next?
Only about ten percent of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem. This is why the amount of animals in higher levels is smaller.

In what trophic level of an energy pyramid will you find the highest amount of toxins accumulate?
in the third level consumer because the toxins had been transferred to it
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of the living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level. The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of a food chain?
4
What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of food chain?
4
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level (from all the activity done by that level, e.g., running, climbing, fighting) . The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
What energy transfer between tropic levels when taking into account the heat given off from cellular respiration?
When organisms use cellular respiration to process energy, only a small amount of energy is transferred to the next trophic level.
What is trophic mass?
I would assume it to be the amount of mass in a specific trophic level. Thus, the trophic mass pyramid.
The greatest amount of heat energy transferred between the hot and cold water is transferred by the process of?
absorption
