What else can I help you with?
Are biomass and trophic level related?
Each trophic level contains one-tenth as much biomass as the level below it and ten times as much biomass as the level above it.
What industries rely on biomass?
Fuel companies rely on this energy source to power things up. Automotive industries also rely on thin energy source(biomass).
Why do producers make up the base of the energy pyramid?
because they give energy to consumers and all others in the energy pyramid
What happens to the amount of energy as you go up the energy 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.
Moving up an energy pyramid from bottom to top the amount of energy tends to?
The amount of energy in one section of the pyramid would always be less than the amount of energy in the section below it.
What happens to the biomass as you move up the biomass pyramid?
It Decreases
What happens to biomass when you move up the biomass pyramid?
It Decreases
What happen to biomass as you move up the biomass pyramid?
It Decreases
What happens to biomas as you move up the biomas pyramid?
As you move up the biomass pyramid, the amount of biomass decreases because energy is lost as you move up trophic levels through energy transfer from one organism to another. This is due to the inefficiency of energy transfer as organisms consume one another.
How does biomass change as you go up the pyramid?
Biomass decreases as you move up the pyramid due to the loss of energy through metabolic processes and heat production at each trophic level. As energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, only a fraction is incorporated into the biomass of the organisms, leading to a decrease in biomass as you move up the pyramid.
What happens to the biomass as you move up the food chain?
Biomass accumulates Think of it as a pyramid If the animals at the bottom consume a little then the next step up will have a little more in them because they just absorbed all of it when you get to the top you will have the highest concentration in the entire food chain.
How would a pyramid reflecting biomass be similar to or different from an energy pyramid?
A biomass pyramid looks like an energy pyramid, in that the largest biomass is contained in the producer level, and the least biomass is contained in the level of the highest order consumer. Basically, as you move up the energy pyramid, there is less energy available to support the biomass at each subsequent level.
How does a biomass pyramid differ by showing each tropical level?
A biomass pyramid displays the total biomass at each trophic level in an ecosystem. In a typical pyramid, the biomass decreases as you move up the trophic levels, with primary producers at the base having the most biomass. In a tropical ecosystem, the biomass pyramid may be inverted due to high turnover rates and rapid growth and reproduction of organisms, leading to a larger biomass of consumers compared to producers.
The total mass of living tissue at each trophic level can be shown bY?
A pyramid of biomass or a pyramid of energy can show the total mass of living tissue at each trophic level. These pyramids illustrate the decreasing amount of biomass or energy available as you move up the food chain, with producers at the base and top-level consumers at the top.
How would a chart showing the concentration of toxins differ from a biological pyramid of biomass for the same food chain?
i believe the concentration becomes greater as you move up the food chain, or up the biomass pyramid, meaning that the highest level of consumer has the highest amount of toxicity. I always thought it was the other way around but I've done some research and that's what I found.
How is energy lost in a biomass pyramid?
Energy is lost in a biomass pyramid through each trophic level due to processes like respiration, heat loss, and incomplete digestion of food. As energy is transferred from one organism to another, only a fraction of it is passed on, with the majority being lost as heat. This results in a decrease in available energy as you move up the pyramid from producers to consumers.
When organisms become larger as they move up the food pyramid why does the biomass become smaller and why does the energy decrease?
As organisms move up the food pyramid, energy is lost through processes like respiration, movement, and waste production. This results in less energy being available for growth and reproduction, leading to a decrease in biomass as the organisms become larger. Additionally, only a fraction of the energy obtained from consuming food is converted into new biomass, with the rest being lost as heat energy.
