The bottom of the food pyramid (plants mostly) have the greatest amount of energy available. The best argument for vegetarianism I ever heard.

What pyramid represents the amount of energy or matter that exists in each level of a food web?

a food web pyramid


Why are the numbers of organisms smaller at high levels of an energy pyramid?

The energy pyramid shows how the amount of useful energy, food, decreases as organisms in that level use it. Even though a lot of energy may be taken in at any level, more energy in the form of food that is available to the next level, is stored on the bottom level and decreases at each level as you move to the top of the pyramid. Thus, there is much less energy to support organisms at the top, so there are fewer in most communities.


What makes up the base of any energy pyramid?

eaither producer's carnivores herbivores or scavenger's


How much energy is passed from one level to the next in a food chain food web or energy pyramid?

In a food chain or energy pyramid, approximately 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next level. This is known as the 10% rule, which reflects the energy lost through metabolic processes, heat, and waste at each level. As a result, energy diminishes significantly as it moves up the food chain, leading to fewer organisms that can be supported at higher trophic levels.


How does the amount of energy change in a food chain?

The energy will go down because the energy keeps getting stored in the cells of the plants or animal that has the energy, so when an other animal eats that plant or animal it gets less of the energy the other creature has. An energy pyramid starts at the bottom with a producer. This is it's widest point, because it has the most energy.

Where is the most energy in the pyramid?

The producers are found at the bottom. They contain the most amount of energy and the energy is transferred to other organisms in the food pyramid. [Consumers].


What are always found at the base of an energy pyramid?

Nutters who believe in pyramid energy. Or if the pyramid is a food chain, producers.


Where is the most energy Available in the energy pyramid?

The most energy in an energy pyramid is typically found at the base, with the primary producers (such as plants) converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Each level up the pyramid contains less energy as it is transferred through the food chain.


Who has most energy at the pyramid level?

Producers have the most energy at the pyramid level because they manufacture food from inorganic raw materials.


Which level represents the most available energy in a food pyramid?

What level of the energy pyramid is a producer found?

Producers are found at the bottom level of the energy pyramid. They are organisms that can photosynthesize, creating energy from sunlight, and form the foundation of the food chain by providing energy to other organisms.

What food group are yams in on the food pyramid?

Why does the producer have the most energy in an energy pyramid?

The producer (such as plants) has the most energy in an energy pyramid because they are able to convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. This allows them to start the energy flow in the ecosystem by producing their own food, which is then passed on to consumers at higher trophic levels.
