Which level on on the pyramid will have the most amount of energy?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

<em>Hello, In all the ecological pyramids, producers (organisms that produce their own food) are found at the lowest trophic level. This trophic level contains the highest amount of energy. The energy in each trophic level of an energy pyramid is just 10 percent of the energy in the level below it. (Why is there less energy available at the top of an energy pyramid than at the bottom?) Less energy is available to organisms in the upper levels because each organism releases some of the chemical energy in food to the air as thermal energy. Less total energy is available with each step up energy pyramid. Hope That Helps!</em>

What are some of the challenges scientists most overcome when studying extreme environments such as deep space or the deep ocean
kvv77 [185]

Let us look at the what, why and how of studying extreme places like the deep earth and the deep space. Scientists need to figure out as to 'what' they want to look at such places, be it a new exotic creature or bio-genesis (birth of life). Unless there are several testable hypothesis constructed, such a study cannot begin. The 'why' aspect deals with the purpose of such research and expeditions. Is it of any use to the humans, or will it improve our current understanding of a phenomenon? The 'how' aspect deals with the technology and the economic assistance that can help in undertaking such a research. All these are the challenges that needed to be thoroughly considered to make such a research or expedition possible.

fomenos

Answer:

The artificial reef would decrease erosion of the coastline.

Explanation:

Artificial reefs are created in area where there is little uderwater topography or near established coral reefs to imitate or even substitute for natural coral reefs where they are absent or endangered due various factors which are mostly human in nature. The artificial serves to provide a habitat for marine organisms and ensure more biodiversity around the area by providing shelter from predation and surfaces for encrusting organisms such as corals and sponges to grow on. The growth of these lower level food chain organisms attract larger predator organisms thereby increasing the biodiversity in the area.

Artificial reefs are made from a variety of materials such as shipwrecks, construction debris, oil rigs, concrete, and any other man-made objects. Since reef structures protect shorelines against waves, artificial reefs would decrease the erosion of the coastline providing benefit to the people living along the coastline by preventing the destruction of beaches and coastal property,
