An energy pyramid is composed of oak trees, rabbits, snakes, and eagles. The producers receive 100% of the total energy from the
sun and have a total biomass of 30,000 kg. As you move up the energy pyramid, the biomass for each tropic level decreases 10%. What claim can be made about the biomass in this ecosystem?
1 answer:
The biomass of the snakes is 300 kg
Explanation:
If the oak trees that receive the energy from the sun are the primary producers in this energy pyramid. They, therefore, enter the food chain with 30, 000 kg biomass – the highest biomass. They have the highest biomass because passing this biomass up the food chain is inefficient. Only 10% is pass up with the rest being lost in the environment in other forms of energy but mostly as heat energy.

Explanation:
- Siphons in Mollusca are tube-like structures in which water (or, more rarely, air) flows. The water flow is used for one or more purposes such as locomotion, feeding, respiration, and reproduction.
- The siphon propels the squid through the water in the opposite direction to which the siphon is pointing, much like jet propulsion. To use this jet propulsion, the squid takes in water through the large opening and then closes off the opening.
