Presentation transcript:

ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS  A diagram that shows relative amounts of energy or matter within each trophic level.  3 Types: –Energy Pyramid –Biomass Pyramid –Pyramid of Numbers

Energy Pyramid  At every trophic level energy is lost as heat or through life processes  Available energy decreases at each level  10% rule – each trophic level passes only about 10% of the energy of the one below it  Higher on food chain, more area needed to live.  This pyramid exists in every ecosystem. REMEMBER: About a 90% energy loss between trophic levels
