First level is the plants, they capture energy from the sun and trap it in their molecules, sugar, etc. Second trophic level probably has to eat lots of plants just to put a little meat on their bones, so energy is being transferred, and eventually moves "up" only because the food chain is often looked at as a pyramid.
Biomass pyramids are another way to describe this (or almost same) phenomenon.
What else can I help you with?
Is matter and energy conserved in a food web?
Matter and total energy are ALWAYS conserved. However, in a food web, you will often consider the USABLE energy; this gets reduced at each step of the food web.
What kind of diagram represents the many energy pathways in a real ecosystem?
Food web
Which process is the foundation for the food web?
Photosynthesis is the foundation for the food web, as it is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into energy-rich sugars that other organisms in the food web rely on as a source of energy.
What happens to the chemical elements that make up the molecules of living organisms as they pass through a food web?
Some of their energy is stored in newly made structures.
What is used to indicate the flow of energy in food chain or web?
What is used to indicate the flow of energy in a food chain or web
When is energy released from the food web?
It isn't it stays and keeps going and going.
What happens to energy as you move from step to step in a food chain or web?
It decreases.
What happens to energy as flows through a food web?
The energy is reduced in such a way that only 10% is passed to each level.
Why do the arrows on a food web point toward the animal eating?
The arrow in a food chain points to where the energy is going.
What happens to the energy as you move from step to step in a chain or web?
what happens is that the energy that was to start with will be broken and half of that will go to continue the cycle because the energy that does not move on is being used by the producer, consumer or scavenger depending on which stage of the food chain or web it is on.
What energy role is the cat in the food web?
what energy role does the cat play in the food web
What kind of energy is in a food web?
Food energy, which is a type of chemical energy.
Is matter and energy conserved in a food web?
Matter and total energy are ALWAYS conserved. However, in a food web, you will often consider the USABLE energy; this gets reduced at each step of the food web.
How is the food web and the energy web the same?
their webs
What do the levels of a food web represent?
The levels of a food web represent the energy.
What is better to show how energy moves through an ecosystem food chain or food web?
food web
What happens to energy as we move from step to step in a web?
Energy is lost
