Is a spanish dancer a decomposer consumer or producer?

A Spanish dancer, which is a type of sea slug (scientifically known as Hexabranchus sanguineus), is classified as a consumer. It feeds primarily on sponges and other small marine organisms, rather than producing its own food through photosynthesis like a producer. Therefore, it plays a role in the marine ecosystem as a consumer in the food chain.


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 statement describes a pyramid of energy?

A pyramid of energy represents the flow of energy through different trophic levels in an ecosystem. It demonstrates the decrease in available energy as it moves up the food chain due to energy loss through metabolism and heat transfer. The pyramid shape indicates that each higher trophic level has less energy available than the one below it.

Which type of organism one that is third level consumer or one that is a producer is likely to have the largest population in an ecosystem?

Depends on the ecosystem. Producer, have the largest biomass in all, they're at the bottom of a energy pyramid diagram, which has a larger base (number of producers) than apex top of the food chain consumers). However, in terms of number of individuals, producers can easily be outnumbered by some animals such as insects in a not so dense forest ecosystem or even in a desert for instance, so it's a case-by-case scenario.
