As you move up the ecological pyramid, the size of organisms generally increases. This is because higher trophic levels, such as carnivores and apex predators, often consist of larger animals that require more energy and biomass to sustain their needs. Additionally, energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient, leading to fewer individuals at higher levels, which often correlates with larger body sizes. Overall, the trend reflects the energetic and resource demands of larger organisms.
What else can I help you with?
What is the percentices of the energy pyramid?
The energy pyramid, also known as the ecological pyramid, typically shows that about 10% of energy is transferred between each trophic level. This means that each level of consumers receives only 10% of the energy from the level below.
Why does the energy level go down as you go up the energy pyramid?
The energy level decreases as you move up the energy pyramid because of the energy loss that occurs at each trophic level, primarily due to metabolic processes. When organisms consume energy, only about 10% is typically transferred to the next level, with the rest lost as heat, waste, or through respiration. This inefficiency limits the number of trophic levels in an ecosystem, resulting in fewer organisms at higher levels. Consequently, energy decreases as you ascend the pyramid.
What happens to the number of organisms as you go up each pyramid?
Well it depends on what type of place your talking about such as rainforest's, etc. Most animals decrease on the food chain because of either the extinction, or because they cant survive either through weather or because of a little limit on food.
What does a biomas pyramid represent?
I think you might be talking about a biomass pyramid. I never heard of a biotic pyramid. Take a look at this website. It might help you. http://earth.rice.edu/MTPE/bio/biosphere/topics/energy/40_biomass.html
On the energy pyramid what level does the heterotroph go on to?
They are the consumers.
What happens when organisms fight for limited resources?
the organisms food will go down
What happens to the numbers of living things as you go up the pyramid?
it will come less
What happens to the relative number of organisms as you move up an ecological pyramid?
As you more up the ecological pyramid, the relative number of organisms present decreases. This means there will be more organisms at the bottom of the pyramid than at the top! At every increasing trophic level (ie primary to secondary to tertiary, etc.), the relative number of organisms will be less as you move up the ecological pyramid! Hope that helps :) Gayyy

What happens to the size of the halogen atoms as you go down the group?
atomic number increases
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.
How was Egyptian society like a pyramid?
It would go up like a pyramid :)
How do you make a Maya pyramid?
To make a pyramid you go to the reject shop and buy one.
Where would the hot pockets go in the food pyramid?
It doesn't belong in the food pyramid.
How big was a pyramid block?
The blocks on the pyramids are all different sizes. The blocks on the bottom are the largest; the blocks get smaller as they go up. The size of the bottom blocks of the Giza Pyramid are 1.5 meters tall, 1.5 meters wide, and 2.25 meters deep. A block this size would weigh 8.44 kg (9.3 tons). Some of the blocks weigh as much as 80 tons!6'X6'ft
What happens to a person's eyes when he or she is afraid?
i think they go big. The pupil will enlarge 2 times their size.
