What else can I help you with?
How much energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next What happens to the energy not transferred?
Typically, around 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, with the rest being lost as heat. The energy not transferred is usually used for metabolic processes, growth, and reproduction by the organisms in each trophic level.
Does food web energy always move from a higher to a lower tropic level only?
Yes, in a food web, energy flows from a higher trophic level to a lower trophic level as organisms are consumed by predators. This process is known as the 10% rule, where only about 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level while the rest is lost as heat.
If you feed on secondary consumers what are you?
Feeding on Secondary Consumers in an ecosystem will cause for you to be classified as a Tertiary Consumer (also known as a 3rd order consumer), and will be, by necessity, a carnivore. Another way to think of this is in trophic levels, where the producers will be of the First Trophic Level, standard herbivores of the second, the first-order carnivores for herbivores the third, and the organism defined by this question the fourth.
What do you think would happen if one important population of animals or plants vanished from the ecosystem?
The loss of an important population of animals or plants could create a ripple effect throughout the ecosystem. It may disrupt food chains, alter habitat structure, and lead to imbalances in population dynamics. This could ultimately impact biodiversity, ecosystem stability, and the services provided by the ecosystem.
Who are belong to the ecosystem?
I think you mean who does belong? Everyone and everything belongs to the ecosystem.
Each level in a food chain is called a?
Each level in a food chain in which energy is exchanged is called a trophic order level or simply a trophic level. As a side note only ten percent of the energy exchanged between trophic levels is absorbed. For example, if a cat eats a bird only ten percent of the energy the bird contains that can be utilized cannot exceed ten percent of the total amount of energy present. (Think calories.)
What quality does a pyramid of biomass express?
A pyramid of biomass expresses the amount of living organic matter present at each trophic level within an ecosystem. It shows the relative distribution of biomass among different trophic levels, with producers at the base and top consumers at the apex. It highlights the energy transfer efficiency within the ecosystem.
How much energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next What happens to the energy not transferred?
Typically, around 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, with the rest being lost as heat. The energy not transferred is usually used for metabolic processes, growth, and reproduction by the organisms in each trophic level.
What are the levels of trophic level?
i think it would be producer, then primary consumer, then secondary consumer, then tertiary consumer.
What trophic level do sharks occupy?
level 2
What consumer are you if you feed on secondary consumers?
Feeding on Secondary Consumers in an ecosystem will cause for you to be classified as a Tertiary Consumer (also known as a 3rd order consumer), and will be, by necessity, a carnivore. Another way to think of this is in trophic levels, where the producers will be of the First Trophic Level, standard herbivores of the second, the first-order carnivores for herbivores the third, and the organism defined by this question the fourth.
Does food web energy always move from a higher to a lower tropic level only?
Yes, in a food web, energy flows from a higher trophic level to a lower trophic level as organisms are consumed by predators. This process is known as the 10% rule, where only about 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level while the rest is lost as heat.
What are advantages and disadvantages of pyramids of biomass?
ADVANTAGE -the total mass of the organism is estimated for each trophic level -shape always get narrower nearer the top DISADVANTAGE -it is more laborious and expensive in terms of time and equipment -impossible to catch/weigh all the organisms
Why are consumers important to an ecosystem?
they are important because they make they own fodd i think.
What trophic level does a zoo plankton belong to?
It is a primary consumer. I think occasionally it is a secondary consumer, though. But I wouldn't bet on that.
If you feed on secondary consumers what are you?
Feeding on Secondary Consumers in an ecosystem will cause for you to be classified as a Tertiary Consumer (also known as a 3rd order consumer), and will be, by necessity, a carnivore. Another way to think of this is in trophic levels, where the producers will be of the First Trophic Level, standard herbivores of the second, the first-order carnivores for herbivores the third, and the organism defined by this question the fourth.
What do you think is the most important factor affecting the size of a community in an ecosystem?
The most important fator is heat!
