Between producer and secondary consumers very little energy is lost to heat and waste. More energy is lost by keeping the organism alive than is lost to the environment.

Is a house fly a secondary consumer?

No, a house fly is not typically classified as a secondary consumer; it is primarily considered a primary consumer. House flies feed on decaying organic matter and other food sources, making them herbivorous in nature. They primarily consume plant materials and organic waste, which places them in the category of primary consumers in a food chain. Secondary consumers, on the other hand, usually feed on primary consumers.

Is grass a good producer or sun the good producer?

Grass, like all green plants, is the producer. Sunlight is the energy source that fuels production (photosynthesis).Consumers get their energy from consuming and digesting other living organisms.Decomposers get their energy from consuming the dead remains and waste products of all living things.

In a energy pyramid the most energy is found at?

In an energy pyramid, the most energy is found at the producer level, which consists of autotrophic organisms like plants that convert sunlight into usable energy through photosynthesis. As you move up the pyramid to primary consumers, secondary consumers, and so on, energy is lost at each trophic level through metabolic processes, heat loss, and waste production.

Is a blue jay a primary consumer secondary consumer tertiary consumer or a scavenger decomposer?

Primary consumers eat plant matter, secondary consumers eat organisms that have fed from the plant-eaters and tertiary consumers are organisms that feed from secondary consumers. Scavengers and decomposers feed on dead animals and plant material, including all kind of food waste. Blue jays have a very varied diet and eat almost anything that could be considered as a food source. When they eat fruits, grains, or berries, they are a primary consumer. When they eat meat, including small invertebrates, they are secondary, or possibly tertiary consumers depending exactly what their food has eaten before being eaten by the blue jay. When they eat table scraps or other food waste they are scavengers.
