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.
The highest level, which is the top level of the food pyramid, contains consumers with the least biomass. This level typically consists of tertiary consumers or apex predators, which have a relatively small population size and biomass compared to primary and secondary consumers in lower levels of the food chain.
The bronchial 'tree':The pharynx is the trunk. The primary bronchi are the first two large branches. They branch to form tertiary bronchi.Each tertiary bronchus branches into multiple bronchioles, which branch further into the very smallest conducting branches, the terminal bronchioles.The terminal bronchiole branches to form several respiratory bronchioles, where gas exchange takes place.
The next smaller branch of the respiratory passageway after the tertiary bronchus is the bronchiole, which further divides into terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, and ultimately alveolar ducts and sacs where gas exchange occurs.
If meaning the four structural levels in proteins, then these are:* Primary structure, which is the sequence of amino acids in the peptide chain that constitutes the protein. * Secondary structure, is the location of formations called alpha-helices, beta-sheets and coiled coils (undefined, flexible structure), that forms with the help of hydrogen bonds between amino acids. * Tertiary structure: This is the over-all fold/structure of one peptide chain/protein, which can consist of many so called "domains" of typical structures of alpha-helices and beta-sheets. * Quaternary structure: Because some proteins are formed from many smaller subproteins (that is, by many peptide chains), quaternary structure describe how these subunits are assembled together.
No, the airways opening along the tertiary bronchus do not contain cartilage. The tertiary bronchus branches into smaller bronchi, called bronchioles, which are lined with smooth muscle instead of cartilage. This allows for increased flexibility and control over airway diameter.
The highest level, which is the top level of the food pyramid, contains consumers with the least biomass. This level typically consists of tertiary consumers or apex predators, which have a relatively small population size and biomass compared to primary and secondary consumers in lower levels of the food chain.
A weasel is typically classified as a secondary consumer. It primarily preys on smaller animals such as rodents and birds, which are primary consumers that feed on plants. By eating these herbivores, weasels occupy a higher trophic level in the food chain.
Moray eels are considered secondary consumers in the marine food chain. As carnivorous predators, they feed primarily on smaller fish and crustaceans, which are the primary consumers in the ecosystem. This places them one level higher in the food chain as secondary consumers, which means they obtain their energy by consuming primary consumers.
Barn owls are considered tertiary consumers . They eat smaller creatures such as mice, insect, and other birds which are typically primary or secondary consumers.
A primary consumer, feeding mainly on smaller fishes.
Why would you ask if it's a decomposer. It's a fish. I think it's a primary consumer.
A primary consumer, feeding mainly on smaller fishes.
A bald eagle is a secondary consumer, as it primarily feeds on smaller animals like fish, rodents, and other birds. Primary consumers are herbivores that feed directly on producers.
No, they are purely carnivores, Their diet consists of, medium sized mammals including rabbits and skunks, small mammals, including voles, rats, mice, and shrews. Smaller owls feed mostly on insects and other invertebrates more specifically snails, Spiders, scorpions, moths, or crickets. The animals they eat are primary consumers (herbivores) or secondary consumers, meaning they eat primary consumers but are low on the food chain themselves, or even omnivores.This makes owls the Tertiary consumer (3ed consumer). the only producer would be the plant matter the primary consumer eats.A food chain would go:Seeds/Plants -> insects/mice -> rats -> owlbut a decomposer, like fungi and Bactria will brake down everything even the tertiary consumer.
It will decrease. The amount of energy that a producer makes will be used to maintain the needs of the primary consumer. That reduced amount will be used by the secondary consumer for their needs (growth and reproduction). That really leaves very little to be passed on. That is the reason why the numbers get smaller and smaller as you go up the food chain. There just isn't enough energy for many in the third level.
Yes, depending on the species, mackerel are secondary or tertiary consumers, eating smaller fish, squid, shrimp, and other small crustaceans.
A tertiary consumer is an organism that eats secondary consumers. An example of this would be shark. The shark could be a tertiary consumer because the shark eats a fish which eats zooplankton which eat phytoplankton. The phytoplankton is the primary producer, the zooplankton is the primary consumer, the fish is the secondary consumer which makes the shark the tertiary consumer.
