  1. Building Pyramids

  2. Working on the Chain Gang to Build Pyramids! The food chain shown below lists the kilocalories of energy needed per day for each organism. Also listed is the weight of each organism. From this data you will mathematically determine the following: Pyramid of Energy Pyramid of Numbers Pyramid of Biomass

  3. the FOOD CHAIN Jaguar 3,000 Kcal 68 Kg Ant Eater 2,000 Kcal/day 7 Kg Army Ant 0.004 Kcal/day 0.0005 Kg Sun 300,000,000 KCal Aphid 0.002 Kcal/day 0.0002 Kg Flower 5 Kcal/day 0.5 Kg

  4. Ecological Pyramids of Energy TERTIARY CONSUMERS (10 Kcal) SECONDARY CONSUMERS (100 Kcal) PRIMARY CONSUMERS (1,000 Kcal) PRIMARY PRODUCERS (10,000 Kcal)

  5. Determining Energy Determine the energy available to each level in the food chain. Show your work. Draw an energy pyramid.

  6. Ecological Pyramid of Numbers Hawk 1 Blue Jays 90 Grasshoppers 200 Grass 1500

  7. Determining Numbers Determine the number of each organism that can be supported by the energy originally provided by the sun. Show your work. Draw a number pyramid.

  8. Ecological Pyramid of Biomass Tertiary Consumers (1 g/m^2) Secondary Consumers (15 g/m^2) Primary Consumers (40 g/m^2) Primary Producers (800 g/m^2) Zooplankton (100 g/m^2) Phytoplankton (20 g/m^2)

  9. Determining Biomass Determine the biomass of organisms that can be supported by the energy originally provided by the sun. Show your work. Draw a biomass pyramid.
