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 happens to solar energy not stored by primary producers?
Around 90% of the total solar energy is used by the producers for food manufacture, growth, reproduction, and survival. The solar energy that is not stored by primary producers is lost as heat.
Are roots decomposers?
No, they are not. Roots are used by the plants, which are producers, to take up nutrients and water in the soil.
What diagram can be used to show the population of producers primary consumers and secondary consumers in the system?
Energy pyramid
Which diagram can be used to show the population of producers primary consumers and secondary consumers in a system-?
Energy Pyramid
Where does energy in an energy pyramid come from?
The sun and then the primary producers which are able to convert the energy from the sun into a form that can be used to the rest of the creatures on the energy pyramid

What is the difference between GPP and NPP?
Gross primary production (GPP) is the rate at which an ecosystem's producers capture and store a given amount of chemical energy as biomass in a given length of time. Some fraction of this fixed energy is used by primary producers for cellular respiration and maintenance of existing tissues (i.e., "growth respiration" and "maintenance respiration").[1] The remaining fixed energy (i.e., mass of photosynthate) is referred to as net primary production (NPP).NPP = GPP - respiration [by plants]Net primary production is the rate at which all the plants in an ecosystem produce net useful chemical energy; it is equal to the difference between the rate at which the plants in an ecosystem produce useful chemical energy (GPP) and the rate at which they use some of that energy during respiration. Some net primary production goes toward growth and reproduction of primary producers, while some is consumed by herbivores.Both gross and net primary production are in units of mass / area / time. In terrestrial ecosystems, mass of carbon per unit area per year (g C/m2/yr) is most often used as the unit of measurement.
What is the primary source of energy for all the organisms in the ecosystem represented below?
The trophic level that contains the organisms that are the source of all chemical energy used in an ecosystem is called the producer level. This level contains the organisms that can make their own food.
What is a food chain used for?
A food chain is made from producers, consumers, and decomposers. producers- any kind of plants consumers- herbivores, omnivores, carnivores decomposers- break down waste and put nutrients back in the soil
How do you make a food nutrients cycle?
Food nutrient cycle is on where the nutrients in the producers are passes onto many different links of consumers and when the final consumer dies, decomposers such as fungi and bacteria consume the dead body and the nutrients go back to the soil fertilizing it to be used by plants and the cycle goes on and on.Remember:a cycle never has a start or an end
What are the two producers used by producers to obtain energy?
Photosynthesis an oxidization.
