Not as much as the producer has because they use some of the energy they have used some energy for things like growth and repair and create more energy by using photosynthesis.

How much of the suns energy does a 4 consumer get from sun and from the trophic level before it?

In a typical food chain, only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next. Therefore, a primary consumer (herbivore) receives approximately 10% of the energy from the plants it consumes, which themselves capture about 1% of the sun's energy through photosynthesis. Consequently, a secondary consumer (carnivore) would receive about 1% of the sun's energy, as it gets 10% of the energy from the primary consumer. Thus, a tertiary consumer would receive around 0.1% of the sun's energy.


How much energy does a primary consumer receive of the original energy from the sun?

A primary consumer receives about 10% of the original energy from the sun. This energy is captured by producers through photosynthesis and passed on through the food chain, with energy decreasing at each trophic level.


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.


Suppose there are 500 units of energy available at the producer level of the energy pyramid Approximately how many units of energy are available to the first level consumer?

In an energy pyramid, approximately 10% of the energy from one trophic level is transferred to the next level. Therefore, if there are 500 units of energy available at the producer level, around 50 units of energy would be available to the first-level consumers. This energy loss occurs due to metabolic processes and heat, which means only a fraction is passed on to the next level.


Can a first level consumer eat a second level consumer?

1st level consumers are any heterotrophs (animals that do not harvest food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis) that eat producers (plants, bacteria, things that make their own food). 2nd level consumers are carnivores or omnivores that eat 1st level consumers, and the 3rd eats 2nd, and so on and so forth. Well a 3rd level consumer is a decomposer second is a carnivore first is a herbivore

How does the sparrow get energy from the first level consumer?

What the second lever consumer eats the first lever consumer, it gets only a little bit of its energy. Say that the first lever consumer has 100 percent of energy, the second lever consumer will come along and eat it then only get 10% of the first level consumer. I don't know if that made any since, but I hope it did(:

What level consumer is a white tiger first or second?

A white tiger is considered a second-level consumer. As a carnivore, it preys on first-level consumers, such as herbivores, to obtain energy.


How does a sparrow get energy from the first level consumer?

A sparrow obtains energy from the first-level consumer (such as insects or seeds) by consuming and digesting it. The energy stored in the food is broken down during digestion, releasing energy that the sparrow utilizes for various physiological functions like movement, growth, and reproduction.
