Best Answer

It depends on the environment that you are planning on deriving this data from. But normally there will always be at least three times the amount of producers vs. third order consumers to support enough energy throughout the trophic levels.

Third level consumers?

A 4th order cosumer is the consumer that feeds of third level consumers (kindof a no-brainer answer). 3rd order consumers feed of 2nd order cosumers and 2nd order consumers feed off 1st order consumers and 1st order consumers feed off producers like grass or bushes; plants that make their own energy from the sun... hope this answer is good enough.

What is the Level of nourishment in a food chain?

The food pyramid begins with producers (plants) on the first level, it then goes to primary consumers (eat producers) on the second level, the third level is made up of secondary consumers and so on. All of these levels come together to make the food pyramid. There must be the most producers and the least top order consumers in order to maintain a balanced ecosystem.

If you feed on secondary consumers what are you?

Feeding on Secondary Consumers in an ecosystem will cause for you to be classified as a Tertiary Consumer (also known as a 3rd order consumer), and will be, by necessity, a carnivore. Another way to think of this is in trophic levels, where the producers will be of the First Trophic Level, standard herbivores of the second, the first-order carnivores for herbivores the third, and the organism defined by this question the fourth.
