Respuesta :
An ecosystem's overall energy content must be less than that of the lower trophic levels if there are any great white sharks present.
The fundamental framework of interaction in all biological communities, the trophic pyramid is defined by the way that food energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next throughout the food chain.
The autotrophs, which are the ecosystem's main producers, make up the base of the pyramid. Other organisms in the ecosystem are consumers called as heterotrophs, but they all rely, either directly or indirectly, on the primary producers for food and energy. Energy is lost as heat at every trophic level in all biological ecosystem as organisms need energy for metabolic tasks like keeping warm and digesting food. The amount of energy available decreases with the trophic level of the organism. For instance, the tremendous quantity of solar energy that plants and other autotrophs (primary producers) have access to is only partially converted into food energy. The biomass of the plants that herbivores and detritivores (principal consumers) eat limits how much accessible energy they can absorb. As a result, carnivores that eat herbivores, detritivores, and other carnivores, as well as those that consume other carnivores, have access to the least amount of energy.
