It depends on the environment that you are planning on deriving this data from. But normally there will always be at least three times the amount of producers vs. third order consumers to support enough energy throughout the trophic levels.

Third level consumers?

A 4th order cosumer is the consumer that feeds of third level consumers (kindof a no-brainer answer). 3rd order consumers feed of 2nd order cosumers and 2nd order consumers feed off 1st order consumers and 1st order consumers feed off producers like grass or bushes; plants that make their own energy from the sun... hope this answer is good enough.


What is the meaning of first consumer?

Well its a Consumer that eats the Producers I guess. Also the Second-level consumers eat the First-level consumers and the Producers The Third-level consumers eat the Second-level consumers,First-level consumers and the Producers which is the Decomposers the plants and the Sun


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.


What is the Level of nourishment in a food chain?

The food pyramid begins with producers (plants) on the first level, it then goes to primary consumers (eat producers) on the second level, the third level is made up of secondary consumers and so on. All of these levels come together to make the food pyramid. There must be the most producers and the least top order consumers in order to maintain a balanced ecosystem.


What is the consumer at the top of the energy pyramid?

The consumer at the top of the energy pyramid is the tertiary consumer. This organism feeds on secondary consumers, which in turn feed on primary consumers at the lower levels of the pyramid. Tertiary consumers are often at the highest trophic level in a food chain or web.


Are bacteria a third consumer?

Bacteria are a wide variety of organisms that include producers, consumers, and decomposers.


Why each type of consumer is an important part of a ecosystem?

Primary consumers are impotant because they eat the producers if there was no primary consumers there probably wouldn't be second or third consumers


Which term describes animals that eat producers?

Animals that eat both consumers and producers are called omnivores.


What are third order consumers called?

Third level consumers are consumers that feed on second level consumers. A hawk eating a rattlesnake would be an example of a third level consumer. In a forest ecosystem, snakes are third level consumers. Herons and large fish are also third level consumers.


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 are some third order consumers?

eats the trird order consumer


What level do secondary consumers belong to on a trophic pyramid?

Secondary consumers belong on the 2nd level trophic level yah!
