Someone is on Chapter 2 Section 2: Flow of Energy in an Ecosystem problem 15. EXPLAIN why an ecological pyramid is smaller at the top than at the bottom.
I'd say because most things at the top are less hunted organisms, leaving it to be eaten less. Which will result in a smaller amount.Rather than the rest of organisms, there are more and larger because they are the hunted.Because of energy the bottom gets 100% of the energy the next only gets 10% then 1% then .1% and so on.An ecological pyramid is a diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy or matter contained within each trophic.
All pyramids are smaller at the top. It's how they're constructed. Every step of energy transformation has loss. Progress through the energy chain, the amount of energy transferred would unavoidably degrade. As the chain progresses, it gets narrower to a pyramid shape.
An ecological pyramid might not have a typical pyramid shape if there is an unusually high number of individuals at a higher trophic level than the producers, or if energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient, leading to a smaller population size at higher levels. Additionally, complex food webs or the presence of omnivores can also disrupt the typical pyramid structure.
This is because only 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to another so relatively less no of herbivores can survive on a number of plants and so on. hence with respect to mass, energy or number, the thickness of the pyramids decreases from bottom to the top.
The bottom layer of a pyramid that represents ecosystem producers is called the trophic level, while the top layers representing consumers are known as higher trophic levels. This structure illustrates how energy flows through an ecosystem, with producers forming the base and subsequent levels representing different consumer groups.
It is a rectangle which is similar to (but smaller than) the rectangular base.
A proper fraction has the top number (the numerator) smaller than the bottom number (the denominator).
there are mums down there
A cube has six sides; a pyramid has five, if you count the bottom of the base.
As you more up the ecological pyramid, the relative number of organisms present decreases. This means there will be more organisms at the bottom of the pyramid than at the top! At every increasing trophic level (ie primary to secondary to tertiary, etc.), the relative number of organisms will be less as you move up the ecological pyramid! Hope that helps :) Gayyy
A fraction is smaller than one if the number on the top is less than the number on the bottom.
