Why are there more producers than consumers in any stable ecosystem?
i like to go pee pee
N any ecosystem terrestrial or aquatic what groups is are always necessary?
producers because you need more to feed all the consumers
What are the levels of organization in ecosystem?
if you mean the feeding levels they are Producers: photosynthetic organisms, such as plant first order consumers: herbivores and animals that eat directly from the producers Second level consumers: these eat the first order consumers but can also eat the producers. this goes on to ussually no more than 5 levels as the energy transphere drops at each level and any more than a fith order consumer would not be able to consume enough tissue to survive.
Why must an ecosystem have more producers than consumers?
When the producer is eaten by the consumer, it is an exchange of energy. Ironically, 90% of the energy that the producer had is lost, and the consumer only receives 10% of it. Therefore, to get enough energy to survive, the consumer must eat more producers, meaning that, to sustain the consumers, there must me many more producers.
What would happen if all the producers were eliminated?
If producers were removed from an ecosystem there would be no more food web.
A stable pond ecosystem would not contain?
consumers without producers
Is it true that consumers always outnumber producers?
no. there are more producers than 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

Are there more consumers or producers in the taiga biome?
In any biome there are always fewer consumers for obvious reasons.
What ecosystem might have a pyramid of numbers where there are less producers than consumers?
If the producers happen to be large trees, they can be small in number but still have a large biomass, therefore allowing them to support a community of more consumers.
Why is the pyramid of biomass in the English channel inverted?
The inverted biomass pyramid is where the weight of the producers is less than the weight of the consumers. The inverted pyramid is more prevalent in aquatic ecosystems, as in such an environment, the biomass depends on the reproductive ability and the lifespan of the species. The best example is the pond ecosystem, where the mass of the producers of the ecosystem, which are generally the phytoplanktons is always less than the mass of the consumers in the ecosystem, which are generally fish and other insects.
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.
N any ecosystem terrestrial or aquatic what groups is are always necessary?
producers because you need more to feed all the consumers
Do consumers outnumber producers on earth?
False . There are far more consumers than producers.
Why is there always more producers than consumers in a food chain?
because plants under go photosynthesis and make there own food to reproduce and create more producers. while consumers which are not plants and don't under go photosynthesis they are more liable to die out.
Are primary consumers or secondary consumers the largest part of the ecosystem?
The largest parts of an ecosystem is the primary consumers. The ecosystem could hold more of a body size of primary consumers as opposed to secondary consumers.
