Explain why an energy pyramid in any ecosystem typically is limited to four or five levels only

Biology
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 years ago

Because there is only a finite amount of energy. Energy is lost between each trophic stage. The top predator would gain the least amount of energy, shared between the least amount of organisms within the predator species. Typically there just aren't any other animals that can kill and eat the top predator, but there also wouldn't be enough of the top predator to eat so any species above them would quickly die out.

The vatican archives maintain a vault where century's worth of old documents are stored in very high n2 levels to prevent oxidat
Vinil7 [7]

The Vatican archives stores multiple precious documents and books of the world. These old documents dating hundred of years are kept in high nitrogen levels, in order to prevent the oxidation of the paper (papyrus). The presence of the high level of inert nitrogen in the air in the archives prevents any kind of damage that may caused to the paper or the ink on those documents. This high level of nitrogen, however, may affect the health of the individual by decreasing the oxygen levels in the body.

Hence, the answer is 'the oxygen level will be decreased in the body'.
