Look for an ecosystem in local setting which shows an invertedpyramid. Is this possible in an ecosystem? Make a diagram of this andexplain your answer.
Food webs are helpful diagrams to understand the relationships of organisms within a biological community. Answer the following questions using the food web below.
Baleen whale
Smaller toothed
Sperm whale
whales
Penguins
Elephant seal
Leopard seal
Other birds
Fish
Other seals
Squid
Krill
Other herbivorous
zooplankton

zooplankton
Phytoplankton
The phytoplankton transforms light energy into 100,000 kcal (by photosynthesis of course). How much energy would you expect to be available in the elephant seal's food if the
elephant seal eats the squid, which eats krill, which eats phytoplankton?
