An owl typically stores energy from its food in the form of fat reserves. The amount of energy stored in an owl can vary based on its size, diet, and activity level, but on average, an owl can store enough energy to sustain itself for several hours of hunting and flying.

How much energy would be stored in the owls body?

Owls generate energy through the food they eat. The amount of energy stored in an owl's body depends on factors such as the type and amount of food it consumes, its metabolism, and its activity level. Overall, owls have high metabolisms to support their hunting and flying activities.


How much energy would the owl use for its life processes or lose as heat?

Owls use about 50-75 watts of energy per day for basic life processes, such as breathing, digesting food, and maintaining body temperature. A portion of this energy is also lost as heat through processes like metabolism and thermoregulation.


What path best illustrates one way energy travels through a forest ecosystem consisting of mouse owl plant snake and sun?

The sun provides energy for plants through photosynthesis. The plants are then consumed by the mouse, which is in turn consumed by the snake. The owl eats the snake, transferring energy up the food chain.


Where does the energy go that is lost in the energy pyramid?

Only the energy stored as biomass (stuff that the next organism up eats and successfully absorbs) makes it up to the next layer of the pyramid. The rest i lost because the animal doing the eating doesn't absorb all of the energy in the food, the animal moves around expending energy, some (quite a lot actually) is lost as heat in warm-blooded animals, etc. In fact very little of the energy absorbed by one layer of the pyramid through eating makes it up to the next layer.


Where is the least energy found in the energy pyramid?

The last level of the energy pyramid...secondary,tertiary...
