What else can I help you with?
What does it mean if an ecosystem is balanced?
- The organisms have to fit into the energy pyramid- The largest number of organism in any ecosystem needs to be the producers- The smallest number of organism need to be the highest level of consumers in that ecosystem
What are organisms that use energy in an ecosystem?
Producers Consumer Decomposer
What do ecosystem need?
I'm not 100% sure on this one, but I think the answer is energy (from the Sun). or decomposers, consumers and producers
What organisms eat the producers or other organisms for energy?
Organisms within an ecosystem are classified into trophic levels to show their role within that ecosytem and also to show the energy flow from one type of organism to another. A trophic level contains 4 sub-levels. In the first level are producing organisms which convert the radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy. The second level is occupied by primary consumers (usually herbivores) which consume the producers in order to obtain the chemical energy they need to survive and to build up organic matter. Secondary consumers come after, in trophic level three, and consume the primary consumers. The last level contains Tertiary consumers which consume the primary consumers and/or the secondary consumers within the ecosystem. This interdependence among life forms is often called the food web, or in the case of soil, the soil food webTry making your answer shorterWell i know its either mountain lion, maple leaf or moose
What is true about secondary consumers in an ecosystem?
A secondary consumer is a predator that eats the primary consumer in an ecosystem. Flow of energy in an ecosystem= primary producer>primary consumer>secondary consumer>teriary consumer
What do consumers need to to survive?
Consumers need producers to survive
Energy is a basic need for all living things How do food webs demonstrate how different living things in an ecosystem get the energy they need to survive?
Food webs illustrate the flow of energy through various organisms in an ecosystem by showing the complex interconnections between producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers, like plants, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the foundation of the food web. Consumers, ranging from herbivores to carnivores, obtain energy by eating these producers or other consumers. Decomposers recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem, ensuring that energy continues to circulate among living organisms.
What data would you need to collect to create an ecological pyramid if numbers?
To create an ecological pyramid based on numbers, you would need to collect data on the population size of various trophic levels within a specific ecosystem, such as producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers. Additionally, it would be helpful to gather information on the biomass of each group, as well as their energy use and transfer efficiency. This data can then be used to illustrate the structure of the ecosystem and the relationships between different organisms.
Give reasons for assigning trophic levels to each organism in an ecosystem.?
Photsynthesis is important to all trophic levels because it provides the energy needed by living things in all levels. Photosynthesis is how plants (in the autotrophic level) convert sunlight into the energy they need. Since animals in the higher trophic levels obtain energy by consuming other organisms, they are ultimatly dependant on photosynthesis too.
Is it true an autotroph is an organism that cannot make its own food?
Autotrophs use light energy from the Sun and inorganic compounds to carry out photosynthesis; therefore they do not rely on other organisms for their food source. Heterotrophs are organisms that need to "eat", or rely on other animals to serve as an energy source.
If a cheetah regularly eats gazelle impalas rabbits and other grazing animals what trophic level does it typically occupy?
Gazells Impalas are primary consumers, Cheetahs are secondary consumers = third trophic level
Which would you expect to have the greatest biomass a population of rabbits or a population of foxes living the same ecosystem?
Ecosystems are based on the amount of energy in the first or lowest level: trees, grasses, and shrubs. The next level can get only 10% of the first level to use for growth and reproduction. These are those that eat the plants (herbivores) of the first level. Rabbits would be included in this second level. Only 10% of 10% of the energy of the first level can be passed on to the third level, the carnivores. Those include foxes. Rabbits would be 10% of the biomass of the ecosystem (at most) and foxes only 1% (at most).
