Question

Summarize why the pyramid of energy can never be inverted like the pyramids of numbers and biomass can.

Answer 1

The pyramid of energy can never be inverted like the pyramids of numbers and biomass can because using the laws of thermodynamics, the available amount of energy decreases when energy is changed in form. So, from the first trophic level to the last trophic level (bottom to top), the amount of energy begins to decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it correct :)

Answer 2

Base on one of the Law of Thermodynamics, the amount of available energy decreases whenever energy is changed in form (which includes a transfer from one trophic level to another). So, as we go from the first trophic level to the top trophic level, the amount of available energy becomes less and less.
