Because otherwise, it wouldn't be called a "pyramid".

In a energy pyramid which level has the most available energy?

The producers (such as plants) at the bottom level of an energy pyramid have the most available energy. As you move up the pyramid to higher trophic levels, energy is lost through metabolic processes and heat, resulting in less energy being available to organisms at higher levels.


What is a increase in stream velocity due to?

An increase in stream velocity can be due to factors such as a steeper gradient, higher discharge, narrower channel width, or decreased channel roughness. These factors can contribute to higher flow velocities in rivers or streams.


What is the relationship between the diameter of the microscope field and its magnification?

As the magnification of a microscope increases, the diameter of the field of view decreases. This is because higher magnification allows for more detailed observation of objects, but with a narrower field of view. Conversely, lower magnification provides a wider field of view but with less magnification.


Why are there usually fewer organisms at the top of an energy pyramid?

The energy pyramid has a broad base to support the next level of organisms, then gets narrower as each layer is added. Each upper level eats more than one ie many organism from the layer below it. Therefore, there has to be more organisms and more energy trapped in lower layers to give energy to the upper layer. There is more grass than rabbits, there are more rabbits than hawks. There is more energy in the grass layer than the layers above it.


Which two properties of a sound wave change when pitch gets high?

Frequency and wavelength of the sound wave change when pitch gets higher. A higher pitch corresponds to a higher frequency and shorter wavelength in a sound wave.

What is considered the j curve?

The j curve is when the population pyramid has a lot of children and few elders. So the pyramid would look like a j for example Kenya would be a good example. because it has a great amount of children and as the number gets higher the number of people gets lower.

Why is pastry at the top of the healthy diet pyramid?

Because the more the food is unhealthy the higher it will be on the pyramid, but follow the new diet pyramid


How were the blocks brought higher as the pyramid grew taller?

they had to use leverage to move the blocks higher and higher.


When a population pyramid has a wide base and it is the most narrow at the top the population is?

When a population pyramid has a wide base and is narrower at the top, it indicates a high birth rate and high population growth. This kind of pyramid is typical of developing countries where a large proportion of the population is young and the birth rates are high.

Why are there fewer organisms higher on the energy pyramid?

There are fewer organisms higher on the energy pyramid because energy is lost as it moves up the food chain through consumption and metabolism. This results in less energy available to support higher trophic levels, leading to a decrease in the number of organisms at each successive higher level.
