Because the Sun is basically aligned with the equator, so around the equator light hits the earth pretty much perpendicular. The closer you get to the poles, the smaller the angle between Earth's surface and the incoming light gets. ANd the smaller the angle, the weaker the light.

Which group of organisms brings the MOST energy into an ecosystem?

Primary producers, such as plants and algae, bring the most energy into an ecosystem through photosynthesis. They convert sunlight into food energy, which is then passed on to the rest of the organisms in the food chain.


What is the original source of almost all energy in the most ecosystem?

What describes the energy changes involved in an ecosystem?

The sun's energy is made available to an ecosystem by the plants in that ecosystem.


Which diagram can be used to show the energy located at each trophic level in an ecosystem?

An ecological pyramid, specifically an energy pyramid, can be used to show the amount of energy available at each trophic level in an ecosystem. This type of pyramid illustrates the decrease in available energy as you move up the food chain, with the most energy found at the base (producers) and decreasing amounts at higher trophic levels.


What has the most energy in the energy pyramid?

Tertiary Consumers and Secondary carnivores


Where are producers located on the energy pyramids?

Producers are located at the base of the energy pyramid because they are the organisms that can photosynthesize or chemosynthesize to convert sunlight or inorganic compounds into energy-rich organic molecules. They are the primary source of energy for all other organisms in the ecosystem.


How does the energy leaves the ecosystem?

Usually, energy leaves the ecosystem when an organism leaves the ecosystem, they usually leave by death.
