What else can I help you with?
In oceans the main producers are?
algae is considered the main producer in the oceanic ecosystem
What are priamary plants?
Trees and flowers are primary plants.
Is a cheetah a consumer or a producer?
A cheetah is a Consumer. Only plants can be producers.
What do you call green plants in the food chain?
In the food chain, plants are producers ( because they make oxygen thru the process of photosynthesis.)
Is a garter snake a producer?
No, producers are plants. Garter snakes would probably be secondary consumers.
In an ecosystem plants are called?
Producers. Plants convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, serving as the primary source of energy for the ecosystem. They are vital in providing food and oxygen for other organisms in the food chain.
What are the 3 level producers?
The three levels of producers in an ecosystem are primary producers (plants, algae), secondary producers (herbivores, omnivores), and tertiary producers (carnivores). Each level is essential for energy flow and nutrient cycling within the ecosystem.
Which trophic level do you think is the most important for the ecosystem and why?
The most important trophic level in an ecosystem is often considered to be the primary producers, such as plants and phytoplankton. They convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain and supporting all other trophic levels. Without primary producers, herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers would lack the energy necessary to survive, leading to ecosystem collapse. Thus, the health of the entire ecosystem hinges on the productivity and resilience of primary producers.
What are primary producers in a grassland ecosystem?
Primary producers in a grassland ecosystem are plants such as grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. These plants form the base of the food chain, providing energy for herbivores and other organisms in the ecosystem.
What is a primary producer?
Primary producers are plants or foliage that are at the beginning of every food chain/web. A primary producer is always eaten by a herbivore in ecology.
Are dead animals primary producers?
No, dead animals are not primary producers. Primary producers are organisms, such as plants and certain algae, that can create their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Dead animals are considered decomposers and are part of the nutrient recycling process, breaking down organic matter and returning nutrients to the ecosystem, but they do not produce energy through photosynthesis.
Why are green plants important for living things?
Green plants are important because the great majority of many an ecosystem's primary producers are photosynthetic plants. Thus, green plants.
Why is the sun considered primary consumer?
The sun is not considered a primary consumer. In an ecosystem, primary consumers are organisms that directly consume producers (plants or autotrophs) for energy. The sun is the primary source of energy for almost all life on Earth, making it the ultimate source of energy in the food chain.
Organisms that manufacture organic nutrients for an ecosystem are called?
Producers. These are organisms that can photosynthesize, like plants, algae, and some bacteria, using sunlight to convert inorganic substances into organic nutrients that can be used by other organisms in the ecosystem.
Equals the gross primary productivity minus the respiration rate of producers?
Net primary productivity is the amount of energy that remains in an ecosystem after accounting for the energy used by producers (plants) for respiration. It is calculated by subtracting the respiration rate of producers from the gross primary productivity. This remaining energy is available for consumers in the ecosystem to use for growth and reproduction.
In an ecosystem which would have a larger population producers or primary consumers?
Producers generally have a larger population compared to primary consumers in an ecosystem. This is because producers, such as plants, algae, and phytoplankton, form the base of the food chain and are able to support a larger number of organisms at higher trophic levels. Primary consumers, such as herbivores, depend on producers for energy and nutrients, so their population size is usually lower than that of producers.
What type of organisms are always producers?
Producers are organisms like green plants, which produce organic compounds from inorganic compounds. The plants are then eaten by consumers like the grazing animals. Plants are known as the primary producers.
