An easy way to calculate the amount of energy available at each level is to

Biology
1 answer:
Contact [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Use the rule that 10% of the energy is transferred between layers.

Explanation:

Energy is transferred between layers of a food pyramid. That means that the  producers at the bottom of the pyramid (e.g. green plants) provide energy to the primary consumers (e.g. rabbits), which are eaten by and provide energy to the secondary consumers (e.g. foxes).

However, very little of the energy is actually transferred to the next layer, roughly 10%. So an easy way to calculate the energy available at each level is to calculate 10% of what was available from the previous level. So if there is 600 kJ available from the primary consumers, then 60 kJ are transferred to the secondary consumers

Discuss ecological pyramids, use tropic levels to discuss this process of heat loss.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Energy pyramids is representation of food chain where producers lie at the base of pyramid followed by primary, secondary and tertiary consumer. A tertiary consumer lies at the top of the energy pyramid .

Explanation:

An ecological pyramid is a chronological arrangement of organism in which the organism producing the food lies at the base of pyramid and remaining all organism lie above it.

Each level of an ecological pyramid is called a trophic level and an organism lying at any trophic level feed upon organism lying in trophic level prior to it.

Energy transferred to an organism lying at certain trophic level is 10% of the energy contained in an organism lying at its lower trophic level. remaining 90% of the energy is used by an organism for its internal metabolic process.

Why is the phloem in a leaf important to the roots of a plant apex?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- phloem transports photsynthetic products to the roots

Explanation:

Phloem is the vascular tissue which specializes in transporting the solute molecules like sugar in the form of sucrose to in the plants.

The phloem connects the photosynthetic organ (Leaves)  to non-photosynthetic organs (stem and roots) of the plants by transporting the photosynthates or sucrose to various parts.

Since the roots also need the energy to perform metabolic functions so need the photosynthates to synthesize the energy molecule. They receive the photosynthates from the phloem.

Thus, phloem transports photosynthetic products to the roots is the correct answer.
