Want this question answered?
A severe drought in a grassland will reduce the number of consumers in the entire energy pyramid Why?
They are the consumers.
The coral reef energy pyramid is the same as any other ecosystem energy pyramid. There are producers and primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers.
Energy is lost ascending each trophic level of the pyramid of energy. Therefore, when quaternary consumers eat tertiary consumers, most of the energy stored in the tertiary consumers' bodies is lost and only 10-15% is passed on to the quaternary consumers. Quaternary consumers, meanwhile, occupy the top position in the pyramid of energy because nothing preys upon them in turn. (This answer is straight from E2020 answer check please Enjoy :)
from top to bottom of the pyramid: tertiary consumers... and so on. secondary consumers (carnivores) primary consumers (herbivores) primary producers (like grass)
Energy pyramid
Energy Pyramid
Primary Consumers
A severe drought in a grassland will reduce the number of consumers in the entire energy pyramid Why?
Tertiary Consumers and Secondary carnivores
They are the consumers.
because they give energy to consumers and all others in the energy pyramid

Its just give Energy to consumers ,

a.first-order consumers b.second-order consumers c.third-order consumers d.decomposers
Initially, energy from the sun is used by producers, which are photosynthetic, to make food. Primary consumers eat the photosynthetic organisms. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and so on. Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food pyramid. The amount of energy decreases with each level of the food pyramid as energy is lost as heat. This is why animals at the top of the pyramid, the tertiary consumers, must consume more animals to receive a sufficient amount of energy for survival.
