What level is a decomposer?
Decomposers are last in food chains, so they can be 4th or 5th trophic level depending upon the food chain or food web:-producers-primary consumers-secondary consumers-ter. or quatr. and so on consumers-decomposers
Why don't food webs have 5th or 6th trophic level?
There are limits because remember that it's usually only 10% of energy from one level that gets passed to the next trophic level so eventually you basically have nothing more to pass that would be of any use.
What is the 5th level in a trophic level called?
I heard it was called Apex but I'm not entirely sure
What trophic level is a hyena?
Humans belong to the third trophic level. Humans belong to the third trophic level if they are omnivorous, however there are many humans who are vegetarian or even vegan, and these humans would be considered second trophic level consumers. This is because they only eat producers (flora).
What is a fifth order consumer called?
Theoretically there could be some instances of these higher level consumers but effectively it all comes down to the transfer of energy between trophic (feeding) levels. No energy transfer is 100% efficient and biological transfers are generally much less so. Because there is less energy retained in each successive trophic level from that converted to biomass by plants from sun light each trophic level must consist of less biomass. there is less mass of antelope than of plants and less again of lions. if something ate lions there would be so few they could not support a population.

What is the 5th trophic level?
The fifth trophic level consists of apex predators. This is the highest level of the food chain. Apex predators have no natural predators. Some examples of apex predators are tigers, grizzly bears, and cheetahs.
What does quaternary consumer?
an organism of the 5th trophic level that relies on tertiary organism ofr food
What are primary secondary and tertiary consumers in the tropical rain forest?
primary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the producers secondary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the primary consumers tertiary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the secondary consumers

Why do most food chains do not extend beyond the 4 th trophic level?
The amount of energy transferred from each trophic level to the next is around 10%. This is a tiny amount. By the 4th level, there is so little energy available that it is not possible (in most cases) to support a 5th level. Generally, where a 5th level exists, the organism isn't on the 5th level for every chain it is included in. Example: Primary producer (1st level) :100 Joules Primary consumer (2nd level) : 10 J Secondary consumer (3rd level) : 1 J Tertiary consumer (4th level) : 0.1 J
Which correct picture shows an energy pyramid?
A pyramid that shows the availability of energy that connects the consumers with the decomposer Shows the energy transfer between tropic levels. (10%) wrong An energy pyramid shows that less and less food and energy is available as you go from the base to the top of the pyramid.
What grade level is the word fascination?
I would say 4th or 5th grade.
Most food chains have no more than 5 stages?
Not all of the energy taken in by one animal is passed on to the next. Some of the energy is wasted through respiratory losses (heat, movement, metabolic functions), some is excreted, some of the animals die and some is contained in inedible matter. When an organism is ingested, only a small amount of the energy is actually taken in. This continues along each trophic level until the energy available (usually after the 5th trophic level) is not enough to support this organism. This results in the food chain ending because it has 'run out of energy'.
