In the ecosystem pictured below, notice that the flowers provide food for the butterflies, the butterflies are eaten by scrub jays, the scrub jays are eaten by snakes, and the snakes are eaten by eagles.

Use the picture and food chain above to answer the following questions.

Part 1: Describe what happens to the energy as it moves through each trophic level in this environment, and why this is happening.

Part 2: Suppose the producers begin with 200,000 J of energy. How much energy would be available for the scrub jay?Describe how you would calculate this number.

Part 3: The apex predator in this environment is the eagle. The population of eagles in this ecosystem is very small compared to the other populations. Considering energy at each level, why are there fewer eagles than the other organisms?Calculate the available energy for the apex predator.
