How much energy is transferred from a producer to a primary consumer?
If a herbivore eats producer materials containing 100 kJ of stored energy, then the energy stored in its body tissues is only 4 kJ. Thus only 4% of the food eaten is stored within the herbivores tissues.
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 a bird a decomposer or consumer or producer?
consumer
What kind of consumer follows a producer in a food chain?
A consumer that follows a producer in a food chain is known as a primary consumer or herbivore. These organisms feed directly on producers (plants) for energy and nutrients, forming the second trophic level in the food chain. Examples include rabbits, deer, and cows.
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 there more energy stored in the producer level or consumer level?
The producer level.
Is there more energy stored in the producer level or consumers levels?
The producer level.
What each level of an energy pyramid is?
producer consumer secondary consumer

Producer makes 1000 units of energy how many units of this energy can a third-level consumer use?
Question: If a producer makes 1000 units of energy, how many units of this energy can a third-level consumer use? A: One unit of energy. Hope this helped. :) Thank you, #Mrs.Knowitall!
What happen to the energy as it goes from the producer down to the fourth level consumer?
it gets weaker

Is a bird a decomposer or consumer or producer?
consumer
What is a consumer that obtains energy by eating only animals?
A consumer because a producer is an organism that creates its own food, a consumer that only eats animals Is a 2nd level consumer
Which level contains the most stored energy?
The level containing the most stored energy is the primary producer level. This is because primary producers, like plants, convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis, which is then passed on to consumers at higher trophic levels.
What is a 1st level consumer?
A 1st level consumer gets its food and energy from the producer
What kind of consumer follows a producer in a food chain?
A consumer that follows a producer in a food chain is known as a primary consumer or herbivore. These organisms feed directly on producers (plants) for energy and nutrients, forming the second trophic level in the food chain. Examples include rabbits, deer, and cows.
