If decomposers were added to an energy pyramid that contains producers primary consumers and secondary consumers which trophic level or levels would be affected?
The addition of decomposers would primarily affect the lowest trophic level, as they would break down organic matter from all levels into inorganic nutrients. This would cycle nutrients back into the ecosystem, benefiting all trophic levels indirectly.
What are antonyms of trophic level?
The antonyms of trophic level would be non-trophic level or abiotic level, referring to components of an ecosystem that are not part of the food chain or do not involve energy transfer through consumption.
What the most energy efficient part of a trophic pyramid?
The primary producers (such as plants) are the most energy efficient part of a trophic pyramid. They can convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis with high efficiency, capturing the most energy from the environment. Each higher trophic level loses energy in the form of heat as it consumes lower levels, making them less efficient in energy use.
How much energy is available at the third tropic level of an energy pyramid if 1000 kcal is available in the first level?
In an energy pyramid, only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is available to the next level. Therefore, if 1000 kcal is available at the first trophic level, approximately 100 kcal would be available at the second trophic level. At the third trophic level, only about 10% of that energy would be available, resulting in roughly 10 kcal.
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.

Trophic pyramid of seaweed?
The trophic pyramid of seaweed would include seaweed as a producer in the area at the base of the pyramid. The seaweed is followed by grazing creatures that eat seaweed and are then eaten by predators.
What would you least expect in a pyramid of numbers?
Decomposers feeding on living things.
What would biomass tell us that a pyramid of numbers wouldn't?
A pyramid of numbers will only tell you the amount of organisms at each trophic level. A Biomass pyramid ignores the amount of organisms in favour of their biomass (dry weight) which in turn represents the amount of energy available at each trophic level.
What are antonyms of trophic level?
The antonyms of trophic level would be non-trophic level or abiotic level, referring to components of an ecosystem that are not part of the food chain or do not involve energy transfer through consumption.
At the trophic level would you expect to find these organisms?
Without specific organisms provided, it is difficult to determine their trophic level. However, plants are typically found at the primary producer level (first trophic level), herbivores at the primary consumer level (second trophic level), carnivores at the secondary or tertiary consumer levels, and decomposers at the final trophic level.

What is trophic mass?
Trophic mass refers to the total biomass within a specific trophic level in an ecosystem. It represents the combined weight of all organisms at that trophic level and is crucial for understanding energy flow and ecological relationships within food chains and food webs.

What are non example of energy pyramid?
Non-examples of an energy pyramid include diagrams that do not represent the flow of energy through trophic levels, such as a simple bar graph of species populations or a chart showing unrelated environmental factors. Additionally, any structure that illustrates energy distribution without a clear hierarchy, like a random assortment of organisms without indicating producers, consumers, and decomposers, would not qualify as an energy pyramid. Lastly, a representation that inaccurately depicts the energy transfer (e.g., showing equal energy levels for all trophic levels) also serves as a non-example.
What is a coral reef energy pyramid?
Basically it is a pyramid made up of different trophic levels (trophic being the list of who eats who...but don't use this for a definition) these levels are stacked on top of each other making a pyramid starting with: Producer Primary consumer Secondary consumer Tertiary consumer Tertiary consumer would be the top of the pyramid (this is only my take on it so there may be more) Hope this helped :)
