Food Webs: Various feeding relationships in an ecosystems (multiple food chains)
Producers, consumer1’s, consumer2’s,etc.?

Trophic Level: Each step in a food chain or food web
“trophe” greek- food or nourishment
Laws of Thermodynamics:1st Law of energy: energy cannot be created or
destroyed2nd Law of energy: no energy transfer is 100%

Ecological Pyramid- diagram shows relative amounts of energy or matter contained within each trophic level in a food chain or food web
Don’t copy: reminder
Trophic Level: Each step in a
food chain or food web“trophe” greek- food or nourishment
Which trophic level shows the
Most amount of food?
![Page 9: Energy flows through ecosystem in one direction from sun or organic compounds to producers (autotrophs) then to consumers (heterotrophs) Producers? Consumers?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f305503460f94c4a393/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3 types of pyramids:1. Energy Pyramid- shows
relative amount of energy available at each trophic level
Don’t copy
*only 10% of energy available within one trophic level is transferred to organisms at next trophic level
*the more levels that exist between a producer and a top-level consumer, the less energy that remains from original amount
If 1st trophic level has 500% energy, 2nd has?

2. Biomass Pyramid: represents the amount of potential food available for each trophic level in an ecosystem
*Expressed in grams or organic matter per unit area
Biomass- amount of living tissue within trophic level

3. Pyramid of Numbers: Shows the relative number of individual organisms at each trophic level
How many rabbits on 2nd trophic level?
