What percerntage of the energy from the producer level is available to the herbivores?

0.1%
...because each level only gets 10% of the energy of the previous level (due to the second law of thermodynamics).
Primary producer (100), primary consumer (10), secondary consumer (1), tertiary consumer (.1).
This is also part of the reason food chains are limited to 3-5 trophic levels.

How can the producers help herbivores?
hen the producers make their ow food, they receive energy in which its consumers, herbivores, will gain when they eat the producer. Source- I'm a 6th Grader
Is the greatest amount of energy is available at the producer level is true or false?
false. or it may be true only scientists know the real answer.
How does the amount of energy available at one level of an energy pyramid compared to the next level up?
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
What percentage of the light energy that is absorbed by photosynthetic algae from the sun is available as food for herbivores in the oceans?
60 25 15 5
What are the links between the energy that carnivores get from eating to the entergy captured by photosynthesis?
The sun gives off energy in the form of sunlight. The sunlight is then absorbed by plants. Herbivores and first-level consumers eat the plants, therefore absorbing some of the energy. Carnivores and second-level consumers eat the herbivores, absorbing some of THEIR energy, which came from the plants in the first place!
How does an elephant obtain energy is it a producer a consumer a carnivore a herbivore an omnivore or a scavenger?
Elephants are herbivores.
Which level of an energy pyramid has the most available energy?
The producer level has the most available energy.
Is Indian grass a producer?
Yes, as Indian grass gains energy from the sun and herbivores eat it, Indian grass falls under the category of producer.

Is primary consumer a producer?
No. A primary consumer is one that gets its energy from plants (producers). Primary consumers are most often known as herbivores. A producer is one that can make its own energy through photosynthesis. These are plants.
Which organisms are first level consumers?
a organism that collects or gathers energy from a producer
What trophic level in community has the most available energy?
primary producer
What level of the energy pyramid is a producer found?
The producer level pyramid contain the most energy, because the sun has the most energy as we know, and producers<plants> get their energy from it. As the consumers<herbivores> eat the producers<plants> they will only get 10% of their energy, and the one that will eat them<herbivores> will also get only 10% energy.... so on, & so forth... That's why,the producer level pyramid contain the most energy. :D
What Primary consumers?
An organism that gets its energy from producers (plants/autotrophs). It is the first heterotroph on a food chain.Primary consumers are the first consumers in line after the producer. They are normally the herbivores that eat the producer.
Does herbivores level provides less food than the producer level?
I think you mean Energy. No, the amount of energy gets cut in half(I think half) every time the energy is transferred from organism to organism. Thus plants get 100% of the energy from the sun, herbivores get 50%, level one carnivores get 25%.
How does the amount of energy available at one level of an energy pyramid compare to the amount of energy available to the next level?
The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid . As you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.
Is a daffodil a producer or a decomposer?
A daffodil is a producer! (It is also an autotroph) It produces its own energy from the sunlight through photosynthesis, so that consumers (herbivores or omnivores) can CONSUME it for their own source of energy. It is not a decomposer; an example of a decomposer is different types of fungi. Hope this helped!
