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.
What is flow the energy to a third -level consumer if the producer provides 1500 calories of energy to the first-level consumer?
Only about 10% is passed from level to level. In this case it is 10% of 1500 calories or 150 calories. This the reason why there has to be many, many producers and why there are only a few consumers. And why you will only see a few eagles or wolves at the very top of the pyramid.
Is an lion a producer or a consumer?
Consumer because a consumer eats plants and animals for energy Producers create their energy through photosynthesis
When can a small biomass of producers support a consumers?
A small biomass of producers can support a consumer population when there is enough energy available from the producers to sustain the consumer species. This relationship is dependent on factors such as energy transfer efficiency and the specific nutritional requirements of the consumer species. If the producers can replenish their biomass efficiently and there is minimal energy loss along the food chain, a small biomass of producers can indeed support a consumer population.
How producers differ from consumer?
A producer is always at the beginning of a food chain. A producer will always be a plant. A primary consumer eats the producer. The secondary consumer eats the primary consumer. The scavenger comes next (if it gets there before the decomposer.) The decomposer will always be last. Example: (where there is a scavenger) grass --> rabbit --> fox --> vulture --> mushroom producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, scavenger, decomposer
What do you call the transfer of food energy through a series of consumer?
producers
What is the path of energy transfer from producers to consumer called?
The food chain.
Organisms that eat producers or other organisms for energy is called what?
Consumer
What do macronutrients provide?
they provide energy or calories
Why are producers always at the bottom?
They make their own energy, instead of consuming another consumer for their energy.
How do organism each of the three energy roles obtain chemical energy?
Producers Consumer Decomposer
Is a lungfish a producer or consumer?
Lungfish are a consumer as they need food to survive. Producers recieve most of their energy from the sun
