Question

Which of these is correct about energy pyramids?

An energy pyramid shows how energy is lost as animals consume other animals.

An energy pyramid shows how energy is gained as animals consume other animals.

An energy pyramid places animals as the energy source at the bottom of the pyramid.

Answer 1

An energy pyramid is a graphical model of energy flow in a community. The different levels represent different groups of organisms that might compose a food chain. From the bottom-up, they are as follows:

Producers — bring energy from nonliving sources into the community
Primary consumers — eat the producers, which makes them herbivores in most communities
Secondary consumers — eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivores
Tertiary consumers — eat the secondary consumers

An energy pyramid’s shape shows how the amount of useful energy that enters each level — chemical energy in the form of food — decreases as it is used by the organisms in that level.

Answer 2

so I think the last one is the best answer

Answer 3

right

Answer 4

and the energy that is lost in the energy flow is 10%
