What else can I help you with?
What type of consumer are coyotes?
A coyote is a second order consumer because it eats first order consumers such as rabbits.
What do main consumers eat in the desert?
Wild canies (wolves, coyotes, fox, etc.) and wild cats (cougars, bobcats, jaguars, etc.) are the top consumers in the desert. The species will vary from desert to desert.
Which shows the correct order or increasing trophic level from producer to tertiary consumers?
primary consumers -->secondary consumers -->tertiary consumers
What is a fifth order consumer?
It is a consumer that is at the top of the food web. Food webs have producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, quaternary consumers, and fifth order consumers. Fifth order consumers have to eat at least one quaternary consumer to make it to that level. They do not eat other fifth order consumers and can also eat anything lower than their level.
What is higher order consumer?
organisms at the top of the food chain. These consumers don't have any predators.
What are the consumers at the top of the pyramid called?
Tertiary consumers
What are the three terms used to describe organisms such as lions?
3rd Order Hetertrophs, Top Carnivores, Tertiary Consumers
What are the four levels in an energy pyramid?
energy source(sun)>producer(grass)>primary consumer(mouse)>secondary consumer(snake)> tertiary(hawk)>decomposer(fungi) All organisms die and get broken down by decomposers
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.
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 happens to the energy as it transfer from producers to first consumers to the last consumers?
As energy transfers from producers (like plants) to first consumers (herbivores) and then to higher-order consumers (carnivores), a significant portion of it is lost at each trophic level, primarily as heat due to metabolic processes. Typically, only about 10% of the energy is passed on to the next level, following the "10% rule." This loss of energy limits the number of trophic levels in an ecosystem and emphasizes the efficiency of energy transfer within food chains. Consequently, ecosystems are structured with fewer top consumers compared to producers.
Why is the sun right on top of the desert?
The sun would only be on top of a desert if that desert was on the equator. As there are no deserts on the equator there are no deserts with the sun right on top. Antarctica is a desert and the sun actually disappears during the winter months.
