Why is the base of an energy pyramid wider than the top

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
5 0

It is due to a lack of providable energy to the next trophic level of the energy pyramid. Primary consumers only obtain around 10% of energy that producers have, and the energy depletes as you move further and further up the food chain, until you reach the tertiary consumers which have the least amount of energy at their disposal, meaning there are less of them than other organisms further down the energy pyramid.

A single serving bag of snack chips contains 65.0 Cal. Assuming that all of the energy from eating these chips goes toward keepi
AveGali [126]

Answer:

= 62.1 hours

Explanation:

Energy provide by the serving is 65 cal

= 65 cal  × 4.184 Kj = 271.96 kJ

271.96 KJ = 271960 J

Energy required for 1minute of energy

= 73 x 1

= 73 J/min

So, 271960 joules will be required for 271960 heart beat

Minutes = 271960 / 73

= 3593.94 minutes  

Time in hours = 3725.429 / 60

= 62.1 hours
