Energy pyramids
Show energy flow
Biomass pyramids
Total mass of living tissue
Number pyramids
Count of individual organisms
10% rule
Every trophic level Going up a pyramid has less energy, 90% less energy every single level. This is because 90% of the energy goes to the living growing into the environment as heat
Why should humans eat at a lower legel
There is higher energy levels available, and they can support larger populations
Solar energy productivity
Solar energy makes organisms, more productive because it is a renewable source and we will always have sunlight
