The lowest level of the energy pyramid that contains carnivores is the third trophic level. These carnivores consume herbivores from the second trophic level that feed on producers at the first trophic level.
Carnivores are typically located at the second or third level of the energy pyramid, depending on their specific dietary habits. Primary carnivores, or secondary consumers, occupy the second level, feeding on herbivores (primary consumers). Tertiary carnivores, which prey on other carnivores, are found at the third level. Each level represents a decrease in available energy as you move up the pyramid.
from top to bottom of the pyramid: tertiary consumers... and so on. secondary consumers (carnivores) primary consumers (herbivores) primary producers (like grass)
carnivores are animals which eat animals while herbivores are animals which eat plant and every one knows that plants are an easy source of food with this herbivores increase in numbers as there is plenty and easy to get food and carnivores stay at a low number as it is difficult to catch there food
Primary producers (plants, algae) decomposers (worms, fungi) Primary consumers (herbivores) Secondary consumers (carnivores) Trimary consumers (carnivores) usually stops there because of energy loss

There is a good reason why there are more herbivores than carnivores. When a carnivore eats an herbivore, it only absorbs a small amount of energy from the animal because herbivores only absorb a small amount of energy from the plants they eat. Therefore, a carnivore must eat more herbivores to receive the energy they need to survive.

There are more herbivores than carnivores in ecosystems primarily due to the energy pyramid's structure. Energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient, with only about 10% of the energy available at one level being passed on to the next. Since herbivores occupy the primary consumer level, they require a larger population to sustain the fewer carnivores that depend on them for energy. Additionally, the vast availability of plant biomass supports a greater number of herbivores in comparison to the limited food resources available for carnivores.
yes because energy pyramid is made up of three things. Those things are producers, herbivores, carnivores. It is at the top of the pyramid because the pyramid has an order to follow. It looks something like this: carnivore herbivore producer It can't go any other way.
Autotrophs, being the producers in the food chain, are at the extreme bottom of the food pyramid. Then the herbivores, which are the primary consumers, follow the autotrophs. The canivores come in the next level, that is the third
No, green algae would not be found at the top of an energy pyramid. They are producers that form the base of the pyramid, converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Organisms higher up in the pyramid, like herbivores and carnivores, consume the green algae for energy.
