What does tertiary comsumers mean?
They are heterotrophs, meaning they are unable to create their own food. They consume the organic matter of secondary consumers(eg. bird) who feed on primary consumers (eg. ants) who feed on producers (eg. plants).
What resource does an organism get from its habitat?
A habitat provides food, shelter, protection, means of activity/transportation, and means of reproduction.
How do decomposers relate to producers and consumers?
producers like trees, plants e.t.c., produces food material to consumers(goats, buffalo's), decomposers decomposes the consumers,producers and waste materials to products that are again useful for producers. thus they can interact withe each other.
Do consumers eat plants?
Yes; they make their own food, whereas consumers (such as animals) have to eat producers (either directly, by eating plants, or indirectly, through eating another organism that eats plants) to gain energy. Plants are producers they get energy from the sun and animals eat it and becomes body heat of course.
Are lichens producers?
they are producers apparently
Are dogs producers or comsumers?
consumers
Why would there be less consumers than producers in a pond ecosystem?
Becuase the comsumers would starve if there were more of them then producers
Why are animals known as comsumers?
they consume (eat) the plants (producers) or other animals
How producers consumers and decomposers obtain energy?
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.
What percentage of the producers energy(20810 kcal) is transferred to herbivores(3368kcals)?
(3368/20810) x100 = 16.18percent
What is transferred from producers to consumers and decomposers in the food chain?
Energy is transferred betweenproducers to consumers and decomposers in the food chain.
Where do producers consumers an decomposers obtain energy?
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
How is energy transferred through a food chain?
10% or the energy of THE SUN is transferred. 1 tertiary consumers 10 secondary consumers 100 primary consumers 1000 producers 10000 sun
How energy is transferred from the sun to a producers?
The Sun produces a huge amount of energy, the amount captured by Earth based "producers" is negligible by comparison.
What are producers in an ecosystem?
The producers are the plants (mostly autotrophs) that create the organic molecules that ultimately provide all of the chemical energy for the food chain.
What producers in an ecosystem?
The producers are the plants (mostly autotrophs) that create the organic molecules that ultimately provide all of the chemical energy for the food chain.
What two things would happen to animals if there was no photosynthesis?
They wouldn't be able to eat other consumers because the comsumers wouldn't eat producers that make their own food. Then they would die from starvation and become extinct.
