these are called third level consumers and only obtain about 1% of energy.
humans are the top predator in the ecological pyramid.
The last level of the energy pyramid...secondary,tertiary...
yes, there is less energy at the top of an energy pyramid
Basically it is a pyramid made up of different trophic levels (trophic being the list of who eats who...but don't use this for a definition) these levels are stacked on top of each other making a pyramid starting with: Producer Primary consumer Secondary consumer Tertiary consumer Tertiary consumer would be the top of the pyramid (this is only my take on it so there may be more) Hope this helped :)
yes because energy pyramid is made up of three things. Those things are producers, herbivores, carnivores. It is at the top of the pyramid because the pyramid has an order to follow. It looks something like this: carnivore herbivore producer It can't go any other way.
the manatee is on the top of the pyramid
The Earthworm is at the bottom of the Energy Pyramid. It is a decomposer.
The peregrine falcon is at the very top of an energy pyramid
Those at the top of the food pyramid contain consumers with the smallest number and therefore, with the least total biomass compared to the layers below them.
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
An energy pyramid has the producers at the bottom and the highest order consumers at the top. The bottom of the pyramid is larger than the top of the pyramid because only about 10% of the energy in one level gets to the next level. Refer to the related links for an illustration.
