Part One: Energy Pyramid Consider the following description of an ecosystem.
There are many cacti, as well as sagebrush, and a few low trees. There are tracks of a desert fox
leading to and from a potential burrow. Sand grouse feathers are present at the mouth of the
burrow. Termites are feeding on a fallen tree. Many birds called sand grouse are eating the
termites.
Think about the trophic levels in this ecosystem. Describe how you would create an energy
pyramid to model the flow of energy in this ecosystem.
