Question

An energy pyramid is composed of oak trees, rabbits, snakes, and eagles. The producers receive 100% of the total energy from the sun and have a total biomass of 30,000 kg. As you move up the energy pyramid, the biomass for each tropic level decreases 10%. What claim can be made about the biomass in this ecosystem?

Answer 1

The biomass of the snakes is 300 kg

Explanation:

If the oak trees that receive the energy from the sun are the primary producers in this energy pyramid. They, therefore, enter the food chain with 30, 000 kg biomass – the highest biomass. They have the highest biomass because passing this biomass up the food chain is inefficient. Only 10% is pass up with the rest being lost in the environment in other forms of energy but mostly as heat energy.
