Description: You are at the base of the pyramid where it all begins. Clue: Look closely at the green life around you; they are the only ones capable of turning light into fuel. Fact: Without the Sun's initial 1,000,000 kcal, the rest of this world would be dark and empty. Warning: If photosynthesis stops, the entire energy supply for every level above you vanishes.

Companion Help

Description: A crisis has struck, testing the stability of your entire ecosystem. Clue: When the foundation (producers) is cut in half, the impact ripples upward with increasing intensity. Fact: The 10% Rule means the top of the pyramid has the least "buffer" during a disaster. Warning: If the energy base fails, the Apex Predator is often the first to face extinction.

LET'S GO!

Companion's Help

Description: You have reached the summit—the home of the ecosystem's top predators. Clue: Notice how few neighbors you have; energy availability dictates the population size at the top. Fact: Apex predators are rare because they receive the smallest fraction of the ecosystem's original solar energy. Warning: Being at the top makes you the most vulnerable to any disruption in the food chain.

Companion Help

Description: This level is teeming with life that feeds directly on the foundation. Clue: Remember that most energy isn't eaten—it’s lost as heat before it ever reaches the next level. Fact: 90% of the energy at this level is "lost" as metabolic heat and waste. Warning: Only 10% of the energy from the producers actually makes it here.

Professor Archibald

Historian and mentor, always has a curious fact that could save the day.

LET'S GO!

Companion's Help

Description: The air is thinner here as the energy pyramid begins to narrow. Clue: Calculate carefully; as you move up, the "missing" 90% makes every kcal more precious. Fact: Energy pyramids get thinner at the top because there simply isn't enough fuel to support many large carnivores. Warning: A small change in the levels below can cause a massive energy shortage here.
