Availability of energy is less for entities at higher trophic levels.Why?

1.) Describe a food chain that has at least four different trophic levels. Label the tropic level (Producer, Primary consumer, Secondary Consumer, or Tertiary Consumer), whether the organism is a(n) autotroph or heterotroph, and provide an example of an organism at each tropic level.   2.)Name two biological processes involved in rapid carbon exchange:   3.)Name two geologic processes involved in long-term carbon exchange:

estimate the total primary production in the oceans (in million metric tons carbon) using the following information - 92% of oceans are open ocen with an average productivity of 125 gC/m2/yr - 8% of the oceans are coastal, with an average productivity of 2,000 gC/m2/yr - remember a metric ton is 1,000 Kg

Can you describe the nitrogen and phosphorous cycles in terms of nutrient availability please?

AP Environmental Science Primary Productivity Problems   Net Primary Productivity efficiency can be calculated for terrestrial producers when values for insolation energy, respiration loss and gross productivity are known. Use the equations below to answer the following problems:   Net Primary Productivity = Gross Productivity – Respiration Loss   Efficiency = .          NPP           . X 100                      Insolation Energy   In a rice paddy in Southeast Asia, the insolation energy is 6,000,000 calories/m2/day. The gross productivity of the rice is 0.012 grams/cm2/day, and the respiration loss is 20 percent. One gram of rice is equivalent to 1000 calories.   Calculate the net primary productivity of the rice.               Find the efficiency of photosynthesis by the rice.   Could you mostly help me set it up and find it? So I can learn how to do it.

Students from Westbury High School participated in a study of the Willow Waterhole Pond. After safely taking samples of some small fish, a fish-eating hawk, some pond water, some zooplankton, and a fish that preys on the small fish, they determined the average concentration of compound "Z" in each sample. The table below summarizes their data.   Build a food chain that illustrates the correct trophic order in the pond. Include the concentrations of compound "Z" for each part of the chain. Describe one natural process that would cause compound "Z" to contaminate the pond's water. (Please write in complete sentences.)

What is the difference between a nutrient pool and a cycling pool in the processes of matter flows in ecosystems?

I need help

In what type of ecosystem would you find high productivity? Why or why not? Explain your answer.

Where in the energy and trophic schemes do decomposers enter?
