  1. Energy Pyramids

  2. Energy transfer • Energy is transferred from the sun to producers. • The producers use most of the energy to continue performing photosynthesis and to do cellular respiration. • What is not used can be passed on to consumers.

  3. Energy transfer • Only 10% of the energy from producers is transferred to the primary consumer. • The primary consumer releases some of the energy as HEAT. • Some of that energy is used or stored by the organism. • The rest is passed on to the secondary consumer.

  4. Energy transfer • Only 10% of the energy from the primary consumer is transferred to the secondary consumer. • The secondary consumer releases some of the energy as HEAT. • Some of that energy is used or stored by the organism.

  5. Energy transfer • The transfer of energy from one organism to the next can be shown in an energy pyramid.

  6. Trophic Levels • Each Level of an energy pyramid or food chain is called a trophic level. • EX: producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer etc…

  7. Your task today will be to create an energy pyramid
