Who is gets the most energy in the food chain?
The trophic level that has the most energy is the producer(s).
Where does hay exist in the food chain?
Since hay is like a plant, it would be considered a primary producer. Primary producers receive their energy from sunlight (not another organism) and are able to provide energy for those that consume them.
Is there such thing as a secondary producer?
No, there is only a producer (or primary producer)Source: Biology teacher
Is a primary producer a heterotroph?
no
Why is the son known to be the source of energy for all organisms on earth?
The sun is the main source of energy on earth simply because of food webs/chains and trophic levels. At the bottom of every food chain there is a primary producer, and these producers are almost always photosynthetic--meaning that they use light energy to synthesize sugars and other organic compounds. The next level on the food chain are the primary consumers (those that eat the primary producers), from there secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, quaternary consumers, etc. The important thing to remember though is that all energy comes from the primary consumers, the photosynthetic organisms. For an example: if you think of the primary producers as grass, than the primary consumers would be field crickets. The crickets eat the grass, the mice eat the crickets, the snake eats the mice the hawk eats the snake. But because every organism above the primary producer needs to obtain energy to survive that means that all the organisms rely on the primary producer; which itself relies on the sun for energy.
Is primary consumer a producer?
No. A primary consumer is one that gets its energy from plants (producers). Primary consumers are most often known as herbivores. A producer is one that can make its own energy through photosynthesis. These are plants.
Does cod obtain its energy from a primary producer?
No. Cod is a predator.
Who is gets the most energy in the food chain?
The trophic level that has the most energy is the producer(s).
What is a primary consumor in regards to biology?
A primary consumer is the organism in the food chain that gets its energy directly from the producer. meaning if grass is a producer, cows would be an example of a primary consumer. in laymans terms the primary consumer eats the producer.
How do primary consumers obtain carbon?
Every producer gets its energy from the sun its called photosynthesis.
What trophic level in community has the most available energy?
primary producer
What level in the food chain has the highest energy?
The level in a food web with the highest amount of total available energy is the producer. The producer is a photosynthetic organism that can harness the energy from light that generally comes from the sun. As the energy is passed from trophic level to trophic level, only about 10-20% of the energy is passed on, while the rest is lost as heat. For instance, if a producer had a total energy amount of 60 kj/m2yr, then the primary consumer would only be able to gain 6-12 kj/m2yr.
How can a consumer in the food chain belong to two different groups?
A producer is able to produce their own energy (like a plant), while a primary consumer consumes the energy that the producer produces. A secondary consumes the producers' energy by eating the primary consumer who ate the producer. Omnivores, like humans, are primary consumers when they eat plants and secondary consumers when they eat meat.
How food chain start with green plant as primary food producer?
energy
Are plants primary producer?
yes,they use chlorophyll so consume sunlight which gives them energy
What category would a mouse fall into on the energy pyramid A primary consumer B primary producer C secondary consumer D tertiary consumer?
A mouse is a primary consumer.
Is shrimp a primary producer?
Shrimp is not a primary producer but a primary consumer. Primary producers are the organisms that have the ability to make food.
