Another name for a consumer?
Producers are plants, and are found on the first trophic level. Consumers are normally animals, and they comsume the plants or other animals that have eaten the plant before them. These consumers are found on the second trophic level and upwards, depending on how the consume the energy that originated from the plant.
Why is there less energy in the last consumer than first?
In each trophic level, some energy does not go to the consumer, and instead is released to the environment in the form of kinetic energy or wasted chemical energy.
What animal would be at the 2nd trophic level?
The group of organisms that occupy the second trophic level of an ecosystem is the herbivores. The herbivores eat the plants in the first trophic level and are then called primary consumers. -Gallo :)
Why do food chains not exceed 4 links?
because the way a food chain works is energy is transferred between trophic levels, but as you move up each trophic level, about half of the energy is lost, which means when you get to the fourth trophic level, only about 10% of the original energy is remaining, so adding another level would mean that the creature would have to consume 10 times as much of its respective prey to get the energy equivalent of 1 of the creatures at the first trophic level. so in other works, energy consumption would be too inefficient
What is flow of energy in ecosystem?
Energy flows from one trophic level to the next (Producer->Primary Consumer->Secondary Consumer). Energy transfer becomes less efficient as it's being transferred; seeing as it is partly used by the organism for metabolic processes.
What does a consumer in a food chain depende on for energy?
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
What does a consumer in a food chain depend in for energy?
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
what are the trophic level for monarch butterflies?
Their trophic level is primary consumer.

For what purpose do organisms use most of the energy available to a consumer trophic level?
For growth and energy to live, move, and repair themselves.
What is the trophic level for elephants?
It is the 2nd consumer on the trophic level! :)
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of the living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level. The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
Most of the energy available to a consumer trophic level is used by organisms for?
respiration, movement, and reproduction.
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level (from all the activity done by that level, e.g., running, climbing, fighting) . The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
In what trophic level of an energy pyramid will you find the highest amount of toxins accumulate?
in the third level consumer because the toxins had been transferred to it
