How do cells take in nutrients and convert it into energy?
the mithocondria turns nutrients/food energy
Are all insects herbivores?
Insects are considered consumers because they eat other living organisms and plants in order to survive.Producers are things such as plants and trees,things that feed off of Earth's soils and nutrients that provide food for other living organisms. All insects are consumers.
How much energy is available to first level consumers?
10%
Why do producers make up the base of the energy pyramid?
because they give energy to consumers and all others in the energy pyramid
Substances in foods that provide energy and materials for cell development growth and repair?
Nutrients are the substance in foods that the body needs to promote growth and repair body, tissues, and to get energy. The body needs nutrients including protein to regulate bodily functions.
Which organism get energy and nutrients by eating only other consumers?
Amoebae and paramecia
Is a wild cat a consumer?
Organisms that produce food for energy internally are producers. Organisms that eat for energy are consumers. Cats are consumers, like all animals, and they eat meat for energy and nutrients.
What do primary consumers do in an ecosystem?
They consume the plants (producers) and obtain the most amount of nutrients and energy and then get eaten by the secondary consumers who obtain a little less energy since it is being passed down a line. Cows would be a primary who consumers grass that obtained energy and nutrients through photosynthesis and then we eat the cow (secondary) and gain what was left from the grass after the cow ate it and spent energy
How do the consumers obtain these nutrients?
Every time a consumer eats a producer or another consumer it gets 10% energy of it.
What nutrient are passed from living things to the environment?
Sun hit the earth, plants use sun's energy to create sugar from organic compounds. Plants lose heat to the environment. Primary consumers eat the plants, and get energy from them, also loses heat to the environment. Secondary consumers eat the primary consumers, gain energy but also loses heat to the environment. Plants and consumers died and decompose, their body become nutrients for plants and the cycle start all over.
Where can you find the nutrients used by the producers and consumers?
the nutrients used by consumers are:CarbohydratesProteinsFatsVitaminsMineralsCalciumIronThe producers use minerals from the soils like nitrogen etc.....
What is the main source of energy in food chains and webs?
The energy is taken from nutrients that are found in the ground which the plants absorb. The plants are then eaten by primary consumers, or herbivores;after this, the primary consumers re eaten by secondary consumers or carnivores. Omnivores share both of these characteristics though, and thus are a primary and secondary consumer.
When was Consumers Energy created?
Consumers Energy was created in 1886.
Does all of producers energy go to consumers?
Yes, it starts with the producers - plants, then to the primary consumers - herbivores and omnivores, then to the carnivores then to the decomposers, which breaks down dead bodies into nutrients essential for plant growth.
What are the most basic processes in an ecosystem?
cycling of nutrients flow of energy from sunlight to producers to consumers
How do and consumers obtain energy?
PRODUCERS: Producers obtain their food through a process called photosynthesis. The producer use sunlight, H20, CO2 and nutrients in the soil to create food (sugars and starches) and O2. CONSUMERS: Consumers obtain their food by consuming other organisms.
Is a dragonfly a producer consumer or a source of energy?
They are consumers.
