Is it true or false that the more levels that exist between a producer and a given consumer the larger the percentage of the original energy from producers is available to that consumer?

False. The more levels that exist between a producer (like plants) and a consumer (like herbivores or carnivores), the less energy is available to that consumer. Energy is lost at each trophic level due to processes like metabolism and heat loss, so with more levels, the percentage of the original energy from producers decreases for the consumer.


Do the more levels that exist between a producer and a given consumer the larger the percentage of the original energy from producers is available to that consumer?

no.. thats false.. its actually the opposite


What percerntage of the energy from the producer level is available to the herbivores?

0.1% ...because each level only gets 10% of the energy of the previous level (due to the second law of thermodynamics). Primary producer (100), primary consumer (10), secondary consumer (1), tertiary consumer (.1). This is also part of the reason food chains are limited to 3-5 trophic levels.


What is the progression from the producer to consumer called?

The progression from producer to consumer is called the food chain or food web. In a food chain, producers (like plants) convert sunlight into energy, which is then transferred to primary consumers (herbivores) that eat the plants. These primary consumers may then be consumed by secondary consumers (carnivores or omnivores), ultimately leading to apex predators or decomposers that recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. This interconnected network illustrates the flow of energy and nutrients through various trophic levels.


What events involves a consumer and a producer in a food chain?

In a food chain, a producer, such as a plant, converts sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then transferred to consumers, like herbivores, that eat the plants. Additionally, when carnivores consume herbivores, they also interact in the food chain. Together, these events illustrate the flow of energy and nutrients from producers to various levels of consumers in an ecosystem.


What are the levels of trophic level?

i think it would be producer, then primary consumer, then secondary consumer, then tertiary consumer.


What best represents a simple food chain?

A simple food chain represents the flow of energy and nutrients through an ecosystem, typically starting with a producer and moving to various levels of consumers. For example, in a basic food chain: sunlight is captured by grass (producer), which is eaten by a grasshopper (primary consumer), which is then consumed by a frog (secondary consumer). This illustrates the direct relationships between organisms and their reliance on one another for energy.


What is the trophic level of a jaguar?

The trophic level a chicken is at is the secondary consumer level. Since they are omnivores, they eat other animals and plants but also get eaten themselves by other predators.


Energy flows from the producer level to what level?

Energy flows from the producer level (such as plants that perform photosynthesis) to the consumer level, which includes herbivores that eat the producers and then carnivores that eat the herbivores. This flow of energy moves through various trophic levels in an ecosystem, ultimately reaching decomposers that break down organic material, returning nutrients to the soil. The overall flow of energy is a crucial component of ecosystem dynamics and food webs.


How many arrows should separate a tertiary consumer from the producer?

In a typical food chain, there should be two arrows separating a tertiary consumer from the producer. The first arrow represents the primary consumer, which feeds on the producer, and the second arrow represents the secondary consumer, which feeds on the primary consumer. Thus, the tertiary consumer is two trophic levels above the producer.


Is there more energy stored in the producer level or consumers levels?

The producer level.


Why is the organism grass sometimes a first level consumer and a second level consumer?

The answer is coati for apex of course before people start asking.
