    S-B-2-3 - Energy Pyramid Worksheet KEY

    Uploaded by

    This document is an answer key for an energy pyramid worksheet. It shows the names of organisms in a food chain placed in the appropriate levels of an energy pyramid diagram. It then provides calculations showing how much energy is transferred and available at each trophic level, with the producers (grasses) containing the most energy that decreases with each subsequent consumer level up to the top predator (hawks). It concludes by explaining that there are always more producers than consumers because only a small fraction of energy is transferred between trophic levels.

    Energy Pyramid Answer KEY

    Haw
    ks

    Snakes

    Mice

    Grasses

    Energy Pyramid

    Food Chain:

    Grasses → Mice → Snakes → Hawks

    1. Write the names of the organisms in the food chain in the appropriate levels of the energy
    pyramid above.

    2. If the mice ate all of the grasses, how much energy can they receive if 350,000 Calories of
    energy are contained in the grasses? 35,000 Calories

    3. If all the mice were eaten by the snakes, how much food energy would be available to the
    snakes? 3,500 Calories

    4. If all the snakes were eaten by the hawks, how much food energy would be available to the
    hawks? 350 Calories

    5. How much food energy would the hawks use for life processes and lose as heat?
    315 Calories (90 percent of 350)

    6. Why are there always more producers than consumers in a food chain?
    There are always more producers than consumers because consumers only receive a small
    amount of the energy that the producers store from photosynthesis.
