Understanding Energy Pyramids: The Structure of Ecosystems and Food Chains

Explore the essential components of energy pyramids in ecosystems, which illustrate the flow of energy from producers to consumers. This model includes primary producers like grass, primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores/omnivores), and tertiary consumers (top carnivores). Learn how energy decreases at each trophic level, leading to significant differences in population size. Understand the relationships between various organisms, such as hawks, snakes, and grasshoppers, and discover how these complex interactions form balanced food chains.
