The image below shoes the energy transformations in a food web. Why are there fewer organisms on the top tertiary of an level of an energy pyramid than on the lower levels such as the producers or the primary consumers levels?

The number of organisms that can be supported on any level is determined by the amount of energy within that level. 90% of the energy is lost to the environment and only 10% is transferred to the next level. The top levels have 0.01% of the total original energy that enters the ecosystem at the producers level.

The simple event of selecting one green popsicle is the number of favorable outcomes over the numbers of total outcomes; thus, the probability would be 1/2

Find the sum of the following: 2/9 + 1/4 + 1/6

23/36 The Least Common Denominator (LCD) is 36. 2/9 + 1/4 + 1/6 = 8/36 + 9/36 + 6/36 = 23/36 The key to finding the right answer here is in understanding that it is necessary to find the LCD and how to do that. The LCD is basically a number that is divisible by all three denominators. In this case 36 is the lowest number that is divisible by 9, 4, and 6. Finding the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) is important because fractions cannot be compared or added/subtracted unless you have the same size and same number of parts in one whole. Circles divided into mini parts, four parts and six parts, can all be divided into 36 equal parts for comparison.
