A flock of sheep are grazing in a field. As they eat, the sheep break down the molecules in the grass, which releases energy. Which form of energy is stored in the grass?
What else can I help you with?
Suppose 10000 units of energy are available for the grass. What is the amount of energy available for the hawk?
If the grass is at the base of the energy pyramid and 90% of the energy is lost at each trophic level, the amount of energy available for the hawk would be 10% of the 10,000 units, which equals 1,000 units of energy.
If nothing eats the hawk what might eventually happen to the energy that is stored in its body?
It could be consumed by scavengers or broken down by decomposers.
If a snake receives 200 calories of energy from eating a rabbit how much of that energy would be passed on to the hawk?
15
What are the four levels in an energy pyramid?
energy source(sun)>producer(grass)>primary consumer(mouse)>secondary consumer(snake)> tertiary(hawk)>decomposer(fungi) All organisms die and get broken down by decomposers
How would a hawk soar upward without flapping its wings using convection currents?
A hawk can soar upward by riding on rising columns of warm air called thermals. The hawk positions itself in the thermal and uses the updraft of warm air to gain altitude without flapping its wings. By circling within the thermal, the hawk can maintain its altitude or climb higher as it rides the convection currents.
How does the energy stored in grass get to a hawk?
The energy stored in grass is transferred to a hawk through the food chain. Herbivorous animals, such as rabbits or rodents, consume the grass and convert its stored energy into their own body mass. When a hawk preys on these herbivores, it obtains the energy that was originally captured by the grass through photosynthesis. Thus, the energy flows from the grass to the herbivore and finally to the hawk.
What is the original source of energy for the hawk?
The original source of energy for a hawk is the food it consumes, such as small animals like rodents, birds, or insects. The hawk converts the energy stored in its food into fuel for its body through the process of digestion and metabolism.
Suppose 10000 units of energy are available for the grass. What is the amount of energy available for the hawk?
If the grass is at the base of the energy pyramid and 90% of the energy is lost at each trophic level, the amount of energy available for the hawk would be 10% of the 10,000 units, which equals 1,000 units of energy.
Only about 10 percent of the energy in an organism is passed on to the next level of a food chain. Look at this food chain grass and rarr rabbit and rarr hawk What percentage of the energy stored b?
Well think about it. If only 10 percent energy goes around. Do the math
What is the correct food chain for grasshopper bird grass hawk?
Theanwer is hawk to snake to mouse to grass
What does an energy pyramid represents Which principle of ecology?
An energy pyramid is the graphical representation of the trophic levels (nutritional) by which the incoming solar energy is transferred into an ecosystem. The source of energy for living beings on Earth is the Sun.
If nothing eats the hawk what might eventually happen to the energy that is stored in its body?
It could be consumed by scavengers or broken down by decomposers.
Write out one food chain?
A grass grows and lives, thanks to the sun, water, and many other factors. Zebras need to eat grass to obtain energy. Lions need to eat zebras to obtain energy. [ Grass ] -> [ Zebra ] -> [ Lion ]
If nothing ever this hawk what might eventually happen to the energy that is stored in its body?
It could be consumed by scavengers or broken down by decomposers.
If nothing eats this Hawk what might eventually happen to the energy that is stored in its body?
It could be consumed by scavengers or broken down by decomposers.
Which living thing does the hawk eat . The rabbit snake mouse or the grass?
Out of the four choices - the ONLY item the hawk wouldn't eat - is the grass !
How does a consumer get its energy?
A consumer gets its energy in multiple ways.If the consumer is low on the food chain like a prairie dog it will get its energy from producers, such as grass that use photosynthesis.If the consumer is in the middle of the food chain like a hawk it would get its energy from eating the prairie dog and also gain the leftover energy from the grass the prairie dog ate.Last but not least is if the consumer is high up in the food chain like a coyote.The coyote will get its energy from eating the hawk which in turn will give it leftover energy from the prairie dog. It could also give some energy from the grass to the coyote but that's not very likely. So basically a consumer gets its energy by what it eats. I hope this helped:)
