Question

The trophic levels of the energy pyramid above show that A. there is a great amount of energy lost as it travels up the energy pyramid. B. energy is not transferred between organisms in an ecosystem. C. there is a great amount of energy gained as it travels up the energy pyramid. D. the same amount of energy is available at every level of the energy pyramid.


Answer 1

Answer:

A. there is a great amount of energy lost as it travels up the energy pyramid.

Explanation:

As you can see directly in the image, the energy in the producers is large and wide, then in the primary consumers it decreases a lot, making this a loss of energy, then from primary to secondary the amount of energy decreases again to the half and then the same from secondary to tertiary, again in half, so the different levels of the pyramid have different amounts of energy, because of that we can say that there is a large loss of energy as it travels up the energy pyramid.

Answer 2

A. there is a great amount of energy lost as it travels up the energy pyramid

The size of each level represents the amount of energy in that level. Since the size greatly decreases as you move up the pyramid, there is a great amount of energy lost as you move up.
