Four tropic levels are very rare and are found only in tropical rainforests. Consider the first level which are grasses and green plants. They absorb sunlight. If they have 100% of the energy at these levels, the next level will only get 10% of that 100% as energy for their metabolic needs.
This 10% will be the base for the next level. They will only get 10% of 10% for their energy needs. That is 1%.
To have enough energy for the forth level, only 10% of 1% will be passed on. That is 0.001%. Not very many animals can live on that.
What else can I help you with?
What element contains three unpaired electrons in its third energy levels?
aresenic
Why does each level in a food chain contains less energy than the level below?
Each level in a food chain contains less energy because energy is lost as heat through metabolic processes like respiration and digestion as it moves up the chain. This means that less energy is available for transfer to the next level.
How can you determine the number of energy rings an atom has by looking at the periodic table?
The number of energy levels is equal to the period number of the element. Through a group, the number of energy levels increases. All the elements in a period has the same number of energy levels.
Which energy levels do not have p orbital?
The energy levels that do not have p orbitals are the first and second energy levels. The first energy level (n=1) contains only an s orbital, while the second energy level (n=2) has both s and p orbitals. Starting from the third energy level (n=3), s, p, and d orbitals are present.
How does an electrons position in a n atom affect the energy it contains?
If there is an extra electron in the valence level then the electron is in the excited state and is carrying more energy. If the atom is normal then it is in the ground stte and contains low energy.
How are the electrons arranged in energy levels?
The innermost energy level always contains two electrons and the rest are arranged in 8s. for example the energy levels of calcium- 2,8,8,2. calcium contains 20 electrons. once the energy levels are filled upto 8 electrons then we move from onto the next energy level. hope this makes sense lol :)
Which level of the energy pyramid contains the least energy?
The top level, which consists of tertiary consumers, contains the least energy in the energy pyramid because energy is lost as heat as it moves up the trophic levels.
How matter and energy move through an ecosystem?
Energy and matter (mass) move through ecosystems from the bottom of the pyramid to the top. The bottom contains most of the matter and therefore the most energy. About 10% is passed to the second level. About 10% of that 10% is passed to the third level. Most ecosystems have three levels as there is not enough energy for a fourth level. Except in tropical rainforest they are fourth levels but no where else.
Which level contains the most stored energy?
The level containing the most stored energy is the primary producer level. This is because primary producers, like plants, convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis, which is then passed on to consumers at higher trophic levels.
What element contains three unpaired electrons in its third energy levels?
aresenic
How is energy is transferred through trophic levels?
Trophic levels are the positions of organisms in a food chain. Energy is transferred through the trophic levels through ingestion at each level.
How many energy levels do most elements have?
Most elements have multiple energy levels, typically ranging from 1 to 7. The number of energy levels an element has depends on the number of electrons it contains. Each energy level corresponds to specific electron orbitals where electrons can be found.
How are principle energy levels and energy sub levels related?
Principal energy levels are an atom's major energy levels, ranging in value from 1 to 7. Energy sublevels are contained within principal energy levels, and their number increases as the value of the principal energy level increases.
Why does each level in a food chain contains less energy than the level below?
Each level in a food chain contains less energy because energy is lost as heat through metabolic processes like respiration and digestion as it moves up the chain. This means that less energy is available for transfer to the next level.
How can you determine the number of energy rings an atom has by looking at the periodic table?
The number of energy levels is equal to the period number of the element. Through a group, the number of energy levels increases. All the elements in a period has the same number of energy levels.
How does energy and matter move through an ecosystem?
It gets converted into energy.
What variables always decreases as it flows through the trophic levels?
Energy is a variable that always decreases as it flows through trophic levels due to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that energy is lost as heat during each transfer.
