Essential Question How does the amount of energy change as it moves through an energy pyramid?

Food chains use pictures or words and arrows to show the movement of energy through the trophic levels of organisms. The trophic level of an organism indicates the position that the organism occupies in the food chain. It shows what it eats and what eats it.

Producers, Consumers, & Decomposers

Why does this look more like a “cycle” than a chain? Let’s discuss this one in detail.

This picture shows the trophic levels.

Food webs describe the organisms found in interconnecting food chains using pictures or words and arrows.

Energy Pyramids An energy pyramid shows the amount of energy that moves from one trophic level to another in a food chain. The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid. The availability of energy decreases as it moves up the energy pyramid.

The most energy is at the producer level – the base of the pyramid.

The Energy Pyramid

Who needs the most energy to survive?
