Is more energy lost from an ecosystem when a herbivore eats a plant or when a carnivore eats an animal?
More energy is lost by the Carnivore eating the Herbivore because of the 10% rule. When the Herbivore eats the plant, he gains 10% of the plants energy, but when the Carnivore eats the Herbivore, the Carnivore is getting 10% of the plants 10% from the Herbivore.
What trophic level would a herbivore occup?
An herbivore is a primary consumer.
What percentage of the total energy taken in by a herbivore is stored in it's tissues?
About 10% of the total energy taken in by an herbivore is stored in its tissues. The rest of the energy is used for growth and development, metabolism, reproduction, and some is given off as heat.
How much energy gets transferred when a herbivore eats a plant?
20%
Who will spend more energy to find food herbivore or a carnivore?
Herbivores. In a food chain, energy is passed from one link to another. When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy (that it gets from the plant food) becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore to carry out its life processes (e.g., movement, digestion, reproduction). Therefore, when the herbivore is eaten by a carnivore, it passes only a small amount of total energy (that it has received) to the carnivore.
Which organisms are first level consumers?
a organism that collects or gathers energy from a producer
Is more energy lost from an ecosystem when a herbivore eats a plant or when a carnivore eats an animal?
More energy is lost by the Carnivore eating the Herbivore because of the 10% rule. When the Herbivore eats the plant, he gains 10% of the plants energy, but when the Carnivore eats the Herbivore, the Carnivore is getting 10% of the plants 10% from the Herbivore.
When a herbivore is eaten by a carnivore what percent of energy from the herbivore is transferred to the carnivore?
95%
What happens to the amount of energy as you go up the energy pyramid?
Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
What is the trophic level for a monarch butterfly?
Herbivore
What is the set of steps called that a organisms gets food?
Trophic, or Energy Levels. (i.e. Producer feeds Consumer, Consumer Feeds First Level Predator, etc. OR. Plant feeds Herbivore, Herbivore feeds Carnivore). If I understood your question correctly...
What happens as you move up energy the pyramid?
Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
What trophic level does a moose belong to?
The trophic level for a buffalo is heterotrophic. This means that it feeds on the producers in the ecosystem which are mainly plants.
What tropical level would herbivore occupy?
Autotroph
What trophic level would a herbivore occup?

What is a herbivore and a third level consumer?
a herbivore is a 2nd level consumer it only eats small animals also plants, worms, and birdy nuts.A 3rd level consumer only eats meat meat meat......
What level consumer is an organism that eats only plants?
herbivore
