An ecological pyramid is sometimes used to show both the flow of matter and energy in an ecosystem. The pyramid narrows as matte

Since the pyramid narrows from bottom to top, we can conclude that the amount of energy keeps on decreasing as we move to a higher trophic level.

Explanation:

Ecological pyramid are graphical representation of data that shows the number of organisms,amount of energy and amount of biomass at each trophic level in a food chain.

Food chain is a sequence of organism who are related  to each other by the process of Eating and being Eaten up.

The base of the ecological pyramid represents the producer or the first trophic level while the apex of the pyramid represents the  cosumers at higher levels of food chain; other consumer trophic levels are in middle.

There are three types of Ecological pyramids:

  • Pyramid of number: This shows the number of organisms of a population present at each trophic level.
  • Pyramid of energy: This shows the amount of energy available at each trophic level and clearly depicts the  energy loss at successive trophic level.
  • Pyramid of biomass:  This pyramid represents the total dry weight of living beings present at each trophic level.

The pyramid of Energy is always an upright pyramid because amount of energy transferred from one trophic to next keeps on decreasing as the energy is lost in form of heat and is also used up by the organism at a given trophic level and only the remaining is part to the next.

What happens to electrons when pigments in Photosystem II absorb light? They combine with oxygen and hydrogen to produce water.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>They move through an electron transport chain to Photosystem I.</em>

Explanation:

Luminous energy is trapped by a chlorophyll molecule in the <u>Photosystem II</u>. When the pigment molecules absorb light, electrons get in a higher energy level. These excited electrons go through the electron transport chain to an inferior energy level in the <u>photosystem I</u>. When the excited electrons leave photosystem II, they are replaced by new electrons that are extracted from the water molecules. As electrons go through the transport chain, their released energy is used to <u>produce ATP molecules</u>. Luminous energy absorbed in the photosystem I move the electrons to another electron acceptor from where they are transported again and used to produce NADPH molecules. When electrons are eliminated from Photosystem I, they are replaced by new electrons that are coming from the photosystem II through the transport chain.
