- The following diagram shows a typical food pyramid: Hawks Snakes Mice Grass If 100,000 kJ of energy is available to the producers, how much energy is available to the secondary consumers in this food pyramid? 1,000 kJ 10,000 kJ 100 kJ 10 kJEnergy transferred from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem is measured in calories, numbers, and in biomass. If a rangeland has a biomass of 100, 000g/m2 from the grass, how much biomass will be available in human beings who eat the cow that eat that grass?Only about 10 percent of the energy from each level of an energy pyramid is available to the trophic level above it. (The rest is used to power life processes or is lost as heat .) If the primary producers have ,000 units of stored energy , how much energy would you expect to be transfered to first-level , second level , and third -level consumers ? Fill in the boxes with your answers.
- How does the ecological impact from a diet consisting strictly of animal products (e.g., dairy products, eggs, and meat) compare with that of a strictly vegetarian diet? How many additional ecologically equivalent Calories do you consume each day by including as little as 10% of your Calories from animal sources?“The pyramid of energy is always upright” states that A)The energy conversion efficiency of herbivores is better than carnivores. B)The energy conversion efficiency of carnivores is better than herbivores C)Producers have the lowest energy conversion efficiency D)Energy conversion efficiency is the same in all trophic levelsAn estimated 1000 kg of plant plankton are needed to produce 100 kg of animal plankton. The animal plankton is in turned consumed by 10 kg of fish, the amount needed by a person to gain 1 kg of body mass. i) explain why the amount of biomass declines at each successive trophic level.
- Which of the following statements BEST describes energy transfer in an ecosystem? A. If the primary producer has 175,000 kcal available, the secondary consumer will receive 17,500 kcal from the primary consumer. B. If the primary consumer has 175,000 kcal available, the secondary consumer will receive 17,500 kcal from the primary consumer. C. If the primary consumer has 175,000 kcal available, the tertiary consumer will receive 175 kcal from the secondary consumer. D. If the primary producer has 175,000 kcal available, the tertiary consumer will receive 17,500 kcal from the secondary consumer.From your reading of the short article "Why Fish Need Trees and Trees Need Fish" by Anne Post, what is the amount of nutrients and energy that one adult chum salmon delivers to Alaskan streams? 20 grams of nitrogen 130 grams of phosphorus Over 20,000 kilojoules of energy 130 grams of nitrogen 20 grams of phosphorus Over 20,000 kilojoules of energy day 20 grams of nitrogen 80 grams of phosphorus Over 2,000 kilojoules of energy 80 grams of nitrogen 11 grams of phosphorus Over 20,000 kilojoules of energyWhich of the following is true of trophic relationships in an ecosystem? All energy in the food chain is ultimately transferred to top level carnivores Most of the useable energy transferred between trophic levels is maintained--very little is lost The trophic pyramid predicts that top level carnivores should have the least amount of biomass in an ecosystem Net productivity is typically a measure of over-all photosynthesis in an ecosystem
- If 20J of energy is trapped at producer level the how much energy will be available to the last animal as food in food chain?For every mega house of energy used by the phytoplankton in lake Mlchlgan, how many joules of energy are used in building cell tissue in lake trout? How many in humans? Use the food chain path: phytoplankton>zooplankton>alewife>lake trout>humans Given only 10% of energy consumed is converted to biomassThe average efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels is 10%. Use this efficiency to determine how much phytoplankton mass is required to add just 1 gram (0.04 ounce) of new mass to a killer whale, which is a third-level or top carnivore. Create a diagram that summarizes the different trophic levels and the relative size and abundance of organisms at each level. How would your answer change if the efficiency were half the average rate? Twice the average rate?
