When considering energy issues in a biomass pyramid of an ecosystem, if you ate more producers, would this increase or decrease the percentage of the biomass pyramid necessary to support your survival? Discuss why

  • The goal of this assignment is to relate the concepts of trophic levels with energy and biomass pyramids to your own life.  Compile a list of every food item you consume in one day- breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and beverages.  After creating the list of food consumed, label each item as either from a producer, a primary consumer (e. g. cow), or secondary or higher consumer (e. g. fish).  If the food item contains both producers and consumers, note both and guess approximately how much of each is consumed.  Also label each item describing the trophic level (1, 2, 3, 4).   Include your labeled list in your paper. Look at your results and discuss the following issues:

Trophic levels also correspond to energy levels in an ecosystem.  Answer both of the following questions. When considering energy issues in a biomass pyramid of an ecosystem, if you ate more producers, would this increase or decrease the percentage of the biomass pyramid necessary to support your survival?  Discuss why.  Also, if you ate more food from consumers, would this increase or decrease the percentage of the biomass pyramid necessary to support your survival?  Explain why.  Cite all of your references. Please remember to type your name on the paper. Post your essay to the Dropbox in D2L.  The paper is due Sunday at midnight, central time.
