Levels C and D
The first energy level can contain 2 electrons. The second energy level can contain 8 electrons. The third energy level can contain 18 electrons.
The principal energy level that contains electrons with the lowest energy is the first energy level (n=1). This level is closest to the nucleus and has the least amount of energy associated with its electrons.
The answer to this depends on the energy level under consideration.In general, the maximum number of electrons occupied in one energy level is given by 2n2where n is the number of energy level. Thus 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th energy levels can occupy a maximum of 2, 8, 18 and 32 electrons
Carbon. Carbon is in the second period, so it has electrons in its second energy level, and it is in the fourth group in the second energy level, so it has 4 electrons.
Helium has two electrons total, and the second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. However, in the case of helium, the second energy level will only contain two electrons as it is the outermost energy level.
Carnivores are typically located at the second or third level of the energy pyramid, depending on their specific dietary habits. Primary carnivores, or secondary consumers, occupy the second level, feeding on herbivores (primary consumers). Tertiary carnivores, which prey on other carnivores, are found at the third level. Each level represents a decrease in available energy as you move up the pyramid.
The lowest level of the energy pyramid that contains carnivores is the third trophic level. These carnivores consume herbivores from the second trophic level that feed on producers at the first trophic level.
The trophic level of herbivores generally contains more energy than that of carnivores. This is because energy is lost at each trophic level due to metabolic processes, with only about 10% of the energy from one level being transferred to the next. Since herbivores are primary consumers that directly consume plants (producers), they have access to the energy stored in plants, whereas carnivores (secondary consumers) rely on herbivores for their energy, resulting in a lower energy availability at their level.
Producers are found at the bottom level of the energy pyramid. They are organisms that can photosynthesize, creating energy from sunlight, and form the foundation of the food chain by providing energy to other organisms.
The first energy level can contain 2 electrons. The second energy level can contain 8 electrons. The third energy level can contain 18 electrons.
The sun gives off energy in the form of sunlight. The sunlight is then absorbed by plants. Herbivores and first-level consumers eat the plants, therefore absorbing some of the energy. Carnivores and second-level consumers eat the herbivores, absorbing some of THEIR energy, which came from the plants in the first place!
There are more herbivores than carnivores in ecosystems primarily due to the energy pyramid's structure. Energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient, with only about 10% of the energy available at one level being passed on to the next. Since herbivores occupy the primary consumer level, they require a larger population to sustain the fewer carnivores that depend on them for energy. Additionally, the vast availability of plant biomass supports a greater number of herbivores in comparison to the limited food resources available for carnivores.

Because, it is containing the most energy , that is the energy passing in each level , but the plants contain the most energy of all the energy passing level.

There are more herbivores than carnivores in an ecosystem primarily due to the energy pyramid's structure. Energy decreases significantly as it moves up trophic levels; only about 10% of the energy from one level is passed to the next. Since herbivores (primary consumers) occupy the second trophic level and rely on abundant plant life (producers) for energy, they can support larger populations. In contrast, carnivores (secondary and tertiary consumers) have less available energy and food resources, leading to smaller populations.
