construct a energy pyramid with the food chain : an owl eats a snake the snake eats a squirrel the squirrel ate a nut.

which animal in the energy pyramid you created has the most amount of available energy ?

which animal in the energy pyramid you created has the least amount of available energy ?

1 answer

The energy pyramid would look something like this:

Owl
Snake
Squirrel
Nut

In this food chain, the nut has the most available energy, as it is the original source of energy that the squirrel consumes. The owl has the least available energy, as it is at the top of the food chain and only receives a portion of the energy that was originally present in the nut. This is because energy is lost at each level of the food chain due to processes such as respiration, reproduction, and movement, so the animals at the top of the chain receive less energy than those at the bottom.
