 * As you can see the biggest animal (the owl) would be the last consumer (tertiary consumer) This is because **
 * biggest animal eats the small animal which eats the producers so the primary **
 * gets alot of energy and the tertiary only gets a little energy of the original energy from the sun. **


 * Questions about the Energy Pyramid: **

** 1. The amount of energy at the top of the Energy Pyramid is much less than the energy that comes from the sun. Where does the energy go? **
The energy goes into different plants and animals in the air. A Good example of where the energy goes is a cyclic diagram because each arrow represents where the energy is being transfered to.

** 2. Write down the animals in the pyramid above from smallest population to largest population. **
1. Tertiary Consumers (1 kal) 2. Secondary Consumers (10 kal) 3. Primary Consumer (100 kal) 4. Producers (1,000 kal)

**What would happen if there were more animals at the top of the pyramid?**
There would be less energy like a top heavy house the lower would die then the top would die

**3. What direction is the Energy traveling in the picture above?**
In the widget above the energy is moving upward.




 * 4. What are things that work in helping you understand the ecosystem in the Energy Pyramid above? **

What helps you understand the ecosystem in the energy pyramid above is the pictures can help you understand, and the numbers. They can help you understand because if you now that plants are a producer and they have a picture of a plant, you will know right away that is a producer.




 * 5. What are things that are missing or could be improved in the model of the Energy Pyramid above? **

The things that are missing or could be improved about the model of energy is that there are no decomposers, and no sun. no decomposes the plats These are very important because they help the rotation stay alive with out the sun there would be no producers and something to decompose the plants there would be no plants.
