Energy Pyramids & Food Webs

In your own words, what is the goal of this lesson?

What does an Energy Pyramid show us?

Is the energy flow of an ecosystem affected in places like Alaska where they experience long periods without sunlight?

Since the energy cannot just stop at the top of the energy pyramid, what do you think happens to it?

Since a pyramid shows that energy stops at the top (and we know that energy doesn't just stop), what other models show that energy is reused?

Where do you think the lost energy goes between energy levels?

You just learned that biomass is the energy in living organisms. You also learned learned that biomass decreases as the trophic levels increase. Where do you think that the lost energy goes?
