"Pyramid of energy is a graphic representation of the amount of energy trapped per unit time and area in different trophic level of a food chain with producers forming the base and the top carnivores at the tip". Pyramid of Energy in a Food Cha..

. Second law of thermodynamics states that processes of energy transformation will not occur spontaneously unless there is degradation of energy from a non - random to a random form. Energy transformations, which occur within the ecosystem are considered in ecolog..

The biotic and abiotic components form an interacting system called 'ecosystem'. Producers, consumers and decomposers are the various trophic levels, which are linked by their food relationship forming a 'food chain'. Several food chains are interrelated and interconnected to form a network called ..

Electricity is obtained from flowing water. Water from the dam is allowed to flow through the tunnels at a high pressure. Turbines convert the potential energy of the water into electrical energy. About 23,800 MW of energy is generated by hydel power in India. Hydel po..

Biomass is the living matter in any organism. It is the amount of living time or energy available as food for the organisms of the next trophic level. The mass of organisms in each trophic level is called the standing crop. Pyramid of Biomass In a given food chain the biomass no..

Introduction - The word 'resource' means supplying a material generally held in reserve. The common natural resources include energy, air, water, land, minerals, microorganisms plants and animals. For man, the resources are the substances required for his survival and comforts. These subs..
