Chickens are considered both primary and secondary consumers as they eat both grain, seed, and worms, grubs. Most times, however, they are secondary unless they are farm chickens.

How does the energy from the sun reach the third order of consumer?

Energy from the sun reaches the third order of consumers through a series of trophic levels in an ecosystem. First, plants (producers) capture sunlight through photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy. Herbivores (first order consumers) then consume the plants, obtaining energy, followed by carnivores (second order consumers) that eat the herbivores. Finally, third order consumers, which are typically larger carnivores, obtain energy by preying on the second order consumers, continuing the flow of energy through the food chain.


Describe the flow of energy to a third level consumer if the the producers provide 1500 calories of energy to the first level consumers?

In an ecosystem, energy flows from producers to consumers through trophic levels. If producers provide 1500 calories of energy to first-level consumers (herbivores), these consumers typically convert only about 10% of that energy into biomass, passing approximately 150 calories to the second-level consumers (carnivores). Following the same efficiency, the second-level consumers would then pass about 15 calories to the third-level consumers, which are the apex predators. Thus, the third-level consumers receive a significantly reduced amount of energy due to the energy loss at each trophic level.
