fill in the blanks using the best words from the box below. first law of thermodynamics third law of thermodynamics number pyramid food web second law of thermodynamics biomass pyramid trophic pyramid food chain 2.016) trophic pyramids portray the as useful energy is lost in each trophic level. 2.017) food chains portray the organisms eat other organisms for energy. 2.018) a trophic pyramid is more representative of a 2.019) a shows the dry weight of organic matter in energy flow. 2.020) a shows ratios of species populations for each level in energy flow.

Explanation:

2.016) Trophic pyramids represent the decrease in biomass as energy is lost at each trophic level.
2.017) Food - chains show the linear sequence of who eats whom for energy.
2.018) A trophic pyramid is more representative of the overall energy flow in an ecosystem.
2.019) A biomass pyramid shows the dry weight of organic matter in energy flow.
2.020) A number pyramid shows ratios of species populations for each level in energy flow.

Answer:

2.016) biomass decrease
2.017) linear sequence
2.018) ecosystem's energy flow
2.019) biomass pyramid
2.020) number pyramid
