Who is gets the most energy in the food chain?
The trophic level that has the most energy is the producer(s).
Why is there a limit to the number of energy transfers in a food chain thermodynamics?
the energy of a food chain goes down as it moves up the food chain. so the primary producer has the most energy and the quaternary consumers have the least amount of energy. -kait B :)
What is producer in food chain?
A producer in a food chain, also called an autotroph is an organism that does not depend on organic compounds for energy, but rather processes its own from inorganic parts of the environment. In most familiar ecosystems the producers are plants, which produce usable carbohydrates by a process called photosynthesis. The organic compounds produce by an autotroph can then be consumed by other organisms.
Why do producers start every food chain?
Every food chain must start with a producer turning energy into food. You cannot have a food chain until food has been produced. This is usually done by plants with chlorophyll, using the rays of the sun for energy. Once the food has been produced, then you can have a food chain. You can list the consumers who eat the plants and then the ones who eat the plant eaters and then the ones who eat the meat eaters.
What is a producer in a food chain on land?
If algae is the producer in a food chain of the ocean then corn would be a producer in a food chain on land. Any green plant is a producer.
What is a producer and a consumer in a food chain?
The producer is the plant that creates energy using photosynthesis. The consumor is anything after that in the food chain.
Who is gets the most energy in the food chain?
The trophic level that has the most energy is the producer(s).
In any food chain the total amount of energy always?
The energy flux of a food chain goes from producer to decomposer. The energy flux along the food chain is always unilateral.
What type of organism is at the begging of the food chain and at the base of the energy pyramid?
producer
How food chain start with green plant as primary food producer?
energy
What is the Energy that drives the food chain?
Ultimately, the energy that drives a food chain is solar energy. Plants absorb and convert this energy, which insects, birds, and other herbivores transfer up the food chain until it reaches humans.
What begins a food chain?
a food chain always begins with all sorts of energy (If you are reading this answer do not think it could be 100% right) I am not your science teacher!
What do you call the first organism from any food chain to get energy directly from the producer?
an consumer

Why can't a fish be a producer in the food chain?
They can't because they don't get their energy from the sun or heat.
