If you're referring to the energy cycle pyramid, there are producers (like plants) and consumers (like rabbits). Plants produce the energy via the sun (photosynthesis) and rabbits, in turn, consume the plants. The rabbit gets consumed by a fox, this is all transferring the same originally produced energy from the plants.

What are the three levels of consumers?
In the food web, three levels of consumers are primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores like grasshoppers. Secondary consumers are carnivores and consume primary consumers. An example of a secondary consumer that eats a grasshopper is a toad. Similarly, a snake, which is a tertiary consumer, will eat a secondary consumer like a toad.
Is an barn owl a tertiary consumer?
A vulture is considered to be a tertiary consumer. This is because they feed on secondary consumers, which feed on primary consumers, and they also feed on primary consumers, which feed on producers.
What are some secondary consumers in the tundra?
Penguins, arctic fox, seals, snowy owls, terns, harlequins, and gulls.
What role did a zigguart play in Sumerian society?
They have the form of a terraced, step pyramid of successively receding stories or levels and a ramp approach.
What is a 3rd level consumer called?
A tertiary consumer is an animal that eats secondary consumers (which are carnivores). For example: Grasshoppers are primary consumers (herbivores) because they eat grass. Rats are secondary consumers (carnivores) because they eat grasshoppers. Snakes are tertiary consumers because they eat rats.
What is the bottom layer of a pyramid that represents ecosystem producers and its top layers represent consumers called?
The bottom layer of pyramid that represents ecosystem producers is the ecological pyramids. The top layers represent consumers. In the energy pyramid the bottom levels have more energy than the top levels.
What organism feeds on all levels of the energy pyramid?
micro organism
How many trophic levels are in the food chain?
There are four trophic levels in an ecological pyramid. They are primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.
If decomposers were added to an energy pyramid that contains producers primary consumers and secondary consumers which trophic level or levels would be affected?
all consumers
A model that shows comparative energy levels for different feeding levels is called?
energy pyramid
What are the 4 kinds of ecological pyramind?
The first of the four, is the ecological pyramid. It shows the number of organisms in each of the trophic levels in an ecosystem. At the base of the levels are the producers and at the top of the pyramid are the final consumers. The second is the number pyramid. This also shows the number of organisms in each of the trophic levels but it does not take into consideration the size of each of the organism in the levels. This pyramid has four levels, starting from the bottom is the total number of producers, then the total number of herbivores, third the total number of small carnivores, and finally the total number of large carnivores. The third pyramid is the biomass pyramid. This pyramid is an indication of the total mass of organisms in the trophic levels. There are three levels of biomass in this pyramid. These are producers ( 470.0 g/m2), then herbivores (0.6 g/m2), and last the carnivores ( 0.1 g/m2). And it is possible for the second level to be greater than the third. Last, is the energy pyramid which indicates the total amount of energy that is in the trophic levels. It also is able to show the loss of energy between the trophic levels. The four levels in this pyramid are Producers, Primary consumers, Secondary consumers and at the top are the Tertiary consumers. As energy passes between the levels, such as from producers to primary consumers, much of the energy is lost due to waste and the conversion to heat energy.
Why are there usually fewer organism in the top levels of an energy pyramid?
because it shows energy transfer and how there's more energy at the bottom of the pyramid with the producer and less and less energy as the consumers eat them because they burn out that energy
Which shows the correct order or increasing trophic level from producer to tertiary consumers?
primary consumers -->secondary consumers -->tertiary consumers
What kind of diagram shows the flow of energy among different trophic levels?
Energy pyramid Apex^^^^^
What is a pyramid with levels called?
A step pyramid.
What are the four levels in an energy pyramid?
energy source(sun)>producer(grass)>primary consumer(mouse)>secondary consumer(snake)> tertiary(hawk)>decomposer(fungi) All organisms die and get broken down by decomposers
A path of energy through the trophic levels of an ecosystem is called?
energy pyramid or nutrient pyramid.
