What the second lever consumer eats the first lever consumer, it gets only a little bit of its energy. Say that the first lever consumer has 100 percent of energy, the second lever consumer will come along and eat it then only get 10% of the first level consumer. I don't know if that made any since, but I hope it did(:
What else can I help you with?
Explain what is meant by the statement The amount of food energy passed along grows smaller and smaller as the chain becomes longer?
That statement is talking about a food chain and the amount of available energy: The most energy is available at the producer level. A producer is a plant that gets energy from the sun. The producer is able to make lots of energy by photosynthesis. Then the producer gets eaten by a first-level consumer. This is typically an herbivore (something that eats only plants) but could also be an omnivore (something that eats both plants and meat). Either way, when the first-level consumer eats the producer, it uses most of the energy for its life processes. Life processes are things like growing, having energy to go find more food, reproducing, and caring for young. Surplus energy is stored in the form of fat. This first-level producer gets eaten by a second-level consumer. This might be a carnivore (something that eats only meat) or another omnivore. The second-level consumer can only get the stored energy from its food. This means that there is less energy available to it than there was to the first-level consumer. This chain continues, with less and less energy being available at each step. Because of this fact, there needs to be many producers and low level consumers to support the higher level consumers.
Is there more energy stored in the producer level or the consumer level?
There is more energy stored at the producer level. This is because producers, like plants, capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis and convert it into chemical energy, which then gets passed on to consumers when they eat the producers. As energy is transferred up the food chain, some is lost as heat, so the amount of energy available decreases at higher trophic levels.
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.
Is a bird a decomposer or consumer or producer?
consumer
Would the biomass of a tertiary consumer be larger or smaller than the biomass of a primary consumer?
The biomass of a tertiary consumer would be smaller than the biomass of a primary consumer. This is because energy is lost as it moves up the food chain through each trophic level. Tertiary consumers have less available energy and biomass compared to primary consumers.
How does the sparrow get energy from the first level consumer?
What the second lever consumer eats the first lever consumer, it gets only a little bit of its energy. Say that the first lever consumer has 100 percent of energy, the second lever consumer will come along and eat it then only get 10% of the first level consumer. I don't know if that made any since, but I hope it did(:
How much energy is transferred in a food pyramid from first level consumer to second level consumer?
90% init
Where does a first level consumer get its energy?
a consumer gets its food by eating food not producing it.
What level consumer is a white tiger first or second?
A white tiger is considered a second-level consumer. As a carnivore, it preys on first-level consumers, such as herbivores, to obtain energy.
What does a consumer in a food chain depend in for energy?
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
What does a consumer in a food chain depende on for energy?
A consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
Is a mouse a first level consumer and a second level consumer?
Both animals are primary consumers - first level.
What each level of an energy pyramid is?
producer consumer secondary consumer
Is a seahorse a first level consumer?
no its a top level consumer :)
Is there more energy stored in the producer level or consumer level?
The producer level.
How much energy does a first level consumer receive?
Not as much as the producer has because they use some of the energy they have used some energy for things like growth and repair and create more energy by using photosynthesis.
Is tigers a top level consumer?
no its a first consumer
