Out of producers decomposers and consumers which has the highest number of organisms?
producers has the highest number and they are called autotrophs because they make their own food then the consumers are next which are called heterotrophs because they depend on other organism for food and the decomposers are on the top of the pyramid of numbers
Are consumers at the top or bottom of the food pyramid?
Well, it depends if your a primary consumer you are second to bottom. If your secondary consumer you are the middle and if you are terriety consumer meaning third or last your at the top or behind the decomposers.
What diagram can be used to show the population of producers primary consumers and secondary consumers in the system?
Energy pyramid
Why are the levels in energy pyramid called consumers?
If you're referring to the energy cycle pyramid, there are producers (like plants) and consumers (like rabbits). Plants produce the energy via the sun (photosynthesis) and rabbits, in turn, consume the plants. The rabbit gets consumed by a fox, this is all transferring the same originally produced energy from the plants.
When energy is passed from organic molecules from producers to consumers what best describes this process?
pyramid of energy
What is the bottom layer of a pyramid that represents ecosystem producers and its top layers represent consumers called?
The bottom layer of pyramid that represents ecosystem producers is the ecological pyramids. The top layers represent consumers. In the energy pyramid the bottom levels have more energy than the top levels.
At the top of a pyramid of biomass are the?
tertiary consumers
What do you call a consumer at the top of a energy pyramid?
these are called third level consumers and only obtain about 1% of energy.
What is the top of pyramid called?
The top of the pyramid was called the capstone.
Where on the energy pyramid will you find the following?
from top to bottom of the pyramid: tertiary consumers... and so on. secondary consumers (carnivores) primary consumers (herbivores) primary producers (like grass)
What is one of the steps of the food chain or food pyramid examples producers primary secondary tertiary consumers?
the top of the pyramid
What is the name of flat top pyramid?
The name of the flat top pyramid is called the ziggurat. They were not made by Egyptians however, they were made by the Mesopotamians.
What is the name of flat-top pyramid?
The flat-top pyramid is called a ziggurat.
Why quaternary consumers occupy the top possition in the pyramid of energy?
Energy is lost ascending each trophic level of the pyramid of energy. Therefore, when quaternary consumers eat tertiary consumers, most of the energy stored in the tertiary consumers' bodies is lost and only 10-15% is passed on to the quaternary consumers. Quaternary consumers, meanwhile, occupy the top position in the pyramid of energy because nothing preys upon them in turn. (This answer is straight from E2020 answer check please Enjoy :)

Path energy takes from producers consumers decomposers is a called?
biomass , you put it in a pyramid, so a pyramid of biomass.
Where does an ecosysytem get energy?
Initially, energy from the sun is used by producers, which are photosynthetic, to make food. Primary consumers eat the photosynthetic organisms. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and so on. Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food pyramid. The amount of energy decreases with each level of the food pyramid as energy is lost as heat. This is why animals at the top of the pyramid, the tertiary consumers, must consume more animals to receive a sufficient amount of energy for survival.
