If you were to place the bear into the energy pyramid, the bear would go on level _____ and have ________ amount of energy available to it.

Answer 1

In an energy pyramid, a bear would typically occupy a higher trophic level, specifically the tertiary consumer level.

So, the bear would go on level 3 (or level 4 depending on specific classifications, but typically it's level 3 in basic energy pyramids) and would have a relatively low amount of energy available to it compared to the levels below, as only about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.

Therefore, the answer would be:

Level 3 and have a low amount of energy available to it.
