    Uploaded by

    夏恺宸
    This document contains questions about energy flow through food chains and ecological pyramids. It asks the reader to define producer, explain what would happen if different organisms were removed from a food chain, list ways that energy is lost between trophic levels, match food chains to pyramids, and explain the shapes and advantages of biomass pyramids over number pyramids. It also contains questions about measuring dry mass versus wet mass of grass for a biomass pyramid.
