As you move upward from level to level in a energy pyramid energy?

um.....the 4 main levels are producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, and teritiary consumer. The energy gets smaller as you move from each level to the animal that consumes it. For example, plankton can have 1000 energy bits, but when it moves up to trout, only 100 energy bits move on to the trout. When the heron eats the trout, the heron only gets 10 energy bits passed onto its body from the trout. Remember to finish your question next time. I hope that i have answered your needs.

Why does the amount of energy decrease as you move up the energy pyramid?
by 10%
What percent is lost as you move up the energy pyramid?
10%
Why is there less energy at the top of the energy pyramid?
Energy decreases because only 10% of the energy stored at each trophic level is available to the next trophic level.
Atoms emit energy as light when?
Atoms emit energy as light when electrons move to a lower energy level
How does energy move from one level to the next?
Energy is transferred from one level to the next as organisms are consumed. The transfer is inefficient as 90% of the stored energy is lost as heat when that stored energy is burned.
How does the amount of energy available at one level of an energy pyramid compared to the next level up?
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
How does the amount of energy available at one level of an energy pyramid compare to the amount of energy available to the next level?
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
What is meant by the term energy pyramid?
It is when there is most energy at the producer level and each level you move up there is less energy.
What happens to the energy level as you move up the energy pyramid?
10% of energy is lost as you move from 1 level to the next. So at the end 90% if the energy will be lost as heat.
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.
Why are the numbers of organisms smaller at high levels of an energy pyramid?
The energy pyramid shows how the amount of useful energy, food, decreases as organisms in that level use it. Even though a lot of energy may be taken in at any level, more energy in the form of food that is available to the next level, is stored on the bottom level and decreases at each level as you move to the top of the pyramid. Thus, there is much less energy to support organisms at the top, so there are fewer in most communities.
When warm air move upward energy is move by?
Temperature
Atoms may emit light energy when?
protons move to a higher energy level protons move to a lower energy level electrons move to a higher energy level electrons move to a lower energy level
Can mountains form from level surface and move upward?
yes
Why does the amount of energy decrease as you move up the energy pyramid?
by 10%
Do electrons release energy when they move to a higher energy level?
No, electrons must absorb energy in order to move to a higher energy level. They release energy when they move to a lower energy level.
What happens to the number of organisms as you move from the bottom of an energy pyramid to the top?
The number of higher-level consumers (higher in the pyramid) usually decreases, as they typically consume more than one prey.
