Out of producers decomposers and consumers which has the highest number of organisms?

producers has the highest number and they are called autotrophs because they make their own food then the consumers are next which are called heterotrophs because they depend on other organism for food and the decomposers are on the top of the pyramid of numbers

What do the levels of the food web represent?
Producers->plants Consumers->herbivores Secondary Consumers->carnivore that feeds on herbivores Tertiary Consumers->feed on carnivores Sun=energy source for producers decomposers are the greatest in amount of biomass, serving as the foundation of the biomass pyramid. Ordered by increasing biomass from lowest to highest by a total energy conversion being an average of 10% total energy conversion in each succeeding biomass classification. to understand this, pretend the decomposers have a biomass of 100,000, each level of biomass above decomposers, is divided by 10 to show approximate (obviously not nearly infallible) biomass value. Decomposers X 100,000 (mushrooms, decomposing bacteria etc.) producers X 10,000 consumers X 1,000 secondary consumers X 100 tertiary consumers X 10 there ya have it.. just rambled, hopefully this helped!
Assuming this is a health ecosystem which organisms in an ecosystem will you expect to have the highest population What should have the lowest?
the organisms with the highest population are the producers and th least is the tertiary organisms.
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 kind of consumer is a hyena?
Heyenas are the highest level. Trust me. I KNOW.
The trophic level with the highest biomass?
Producers generally have the highest biomass.Producers are photosynthetic organisms in most environments, such as plants and phytoplankton; they support the bottom of the food web and trophic levels.
How does photosynthesis affect crocodiles?
Photosynthesis provides food for the producers, which are then eaten by first-order consumers, which may be eaten by second-order consumers, and so on, which are then eaten by crocodiles, which are probably the highest-order consumer in the food web, unless humans are involved. Without photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy in food molecules, there would be no producers or consumers, and no crocodiles (or humans).
Which trophic level contains the most available food energy?
On an ecological pyramid or in a food chain, typically, the highest trophic levels have the least amount of energy from the sun available for the next highest level. In a typical food chain, this would be the tertiary consumer level.
What trophic level contains the greatest biomass in most ecosystems?
More individuals, less energy, more producers, or fewer carnivores?ANSWER: more individuals because there are more types of omnivores and carnivores(who feed off of primary consumers) than there are herbivores (who feed off of primary producers)
What are the decomposers From which trophic levels are the organism that decomposers feed on?
Decomposers are a very paramount part of an ecosystem! I find it authentically intriguing, because when an organism dies, the decomposers commence their work. They utilize the energy found on dead material (one of the reasons why maggots can be acclimated to emaculate dead skin off of burn tissue victims, for example). Hypothetically speaking, lets say an animal dies in a forest. Generally, flies will be magnetized to the body and lay eggs. When these eggs hatch into larvae, they commence to decompose the dead material that seems very captivating to them. Same with earthworms, beetles, etc. Along with these insects (called 'arthropods' generally), bacteria (that customarily commences in the dead organisms stomach) will commence to decompose the material as well. This can withal be optically discerned in dead plants (such as in a compost bin outside, when you throw all your banana waste and such in there if you have one). The nutrients are returned back to the soil and dihydrogen monoxide..and any gasses such as methane and carbon dioxide return to the air. So to directly answer your question, the decomposers are likely at the 'bottom' of the food chain, but have an integral role in cleaning up once living organisms and distributing nutrients directly back to the earth, so the food chain cycle can perpetuate. Decomposers are organisms that break down other organisms into simple compounds. For example, earthworms are decomposers. They break down dead animals or plants and convert it into soil. Decomposers don't have a definite trophic levels because it depends on what they are decomposing.
What is the highest subgroup for classifying organisms?
Kingdom is the highest subgroup for classifying organisms.
What is a description of the energy flow through an ecosystem?
The plants get 10 percent energy from the sun. The highest concentration of energy is in producers [for example plants or algae]. Then the primary consumer eats only plants but retain only ten percent of their energy. Secondary consumers eat the primary consumers and get ten percent from the primary consumers. Secondary consumers can also eat plants. Then the final level is the tertiary consumers who are typically carnivores and eat secondary consumers. They retain 10 percent from the secondary consumers. So with each level less energy is achieved.
Define secondary consumer in food chain?
Primary consumers, which are plant-eating animals.
