Question

energy pyramids describe food and energy relationships within an ecosystem. which factor most likely limits the number of levels an energy pyramid can have? chemical energy being decomposed at each level of organisms biomass of the top - level organisms energy loss between each level of organisms predation by the top - level organisms

Explanation:

In an energy pyramid, energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Only about 10 - 20% of the energy is passed on, with the rest being lost as heat. This significant energy loss between levels limits the number of levels the pyramid can have, as eventually there is not enough energy to support higher - level organisms.

Answer:

energy loss between each level of organisms
