Why are there usually few organisms at the top of an energy pyramid?

Biology
1 answer:
anzhelika [568]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The number of organisms near the top of the energy pyramid is usually small, because most of the energy produced is lost due to factors such as exercise and heat. This energy loss occurs multiple times when passing through the pyramid, forcing consumers near the top to require more food. This creates a pyramid with the third consumer at the top and the producer at the bottom.

Fossilized stromatolites
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

(B) resemble structures formed by bacterial communities that are found today in some shallow marine bays.

Explanation:

Extant stromatolites represent real "living fossils" for they are decendents of ancient forms that are associated with one of the first living forms on earth. Particularly, stromatolites are real bacteria communities where the autotrophic organism of the community are represented by cyanobacteria, which live along with heterotrophic bacteria. This clearly indicates that fossilized stromatolites points to bacteria (prokaryotes) as the first living things on earth (dated with not less than 3.5 billion year old)

Nowadays, stromatolites with cyanobacteria allows to reconstruct and understand fossilized forms. These current structures live in shallow marines ambients (e.g. Australia) but also in continental salt flats (e.g. Argentina) where few others bacteria can survive to these extreme conditions (high light exposure and salt concentration).

miskamm [114]

Proteins have up to four levels of organic structure.

1.Primary structure -  the linear arrangement of amino acids.

2. Secondary structure - areas of folding or coiling within a protein.

3. Tertiary structure - the final three dimensional structure of a protein.

4. Quaternary structure - non covalent associations that bind multiple polypeptides into a single larger protein. E.g.  hemoglobin has four polymers, two alpha and two beta chains. They are non covalently bound to each other to form a single large protein - hemoglobin.
