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.
What would decreasing the number of producers have o a food chain?
Decreasing the number of producers in a food chain can lead to reduced food availability for consumers (organisms further up the chain). This can result in decreased overall biodiversity and disrupt the stability of the ecosystem. Additionally, it can impact energy flow and nutrient cycling within the ecosystem.
What might happen if a population of producers was removed from the community?
This is impossible, because the producers are all plants and 'suddenly' does not happen when you are talking evolution. Hypothetically, the population would decrease relative to the number of producers that became consumers. By switching sides they would increase the number of consumers and decrease the number of producers, meaning there was not enough food to go around and many consumers would starve.
Which organisms reduced the amount of carbon dioxide and increase the amount of oxygen in the air?
Plants, which are on the first trophic level, can also be referred to as producers or autotrophs.
How is matter and energy used in ecosystems?
Energy is described by a pyramid diagram (the ecological pyramid). There are 4 layers in the pyramid. The bottom layer is producers. They produce all the energy that goes up the pyramid. The second layer is the primary consumers, or herbivores, who eat the producers. Next, there is the secondary consumer layer, the organisms in it eat other consumers. Finally, there are tertiary consumers eat secondary and primary consumers.Note: as you go up the pyramid, the original energy from the level below it is reduced to 10% of the original energy from the level below it. The primary consumers get 10% of the energy the producers made, and so on, so the secondary consumers get 1% of the original energy, and the tertiary get 0.1% if the energy!See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid for a picture of the ecological pyramid.
What would be the effect of a meadow environment if the producer organisms dramatically reduce?
If the producers are dramatically reduced then the consumers will also reduce.

How do trade restrictions on imports affect domestic consumers workers and producers of domestic goods?
Trade restrictions on imports, such as tariffs and quotas, can lead to higher prices for consumers as they limit competition from foreign goods. Domestic producers may benefit in the short term due to reduced competition, potentially leading to increased sales and job protection. However, workers in industries reliant on imported materials may face negative impacts, such as job losses or increased costs. Overall, while some domestic producers may gain, consumers often face higher prices, and the broader economy may suffer from reduced efficiency and innovation.
How does the incidence of a tax affect producers?
The incidence of a tax refers to how the burden of the tax is distributed between consumers and producers. When a tax is imposed, producers may face higher costs, which can lead to reduced supply as they might produce less or increase prices to maintain profit margins. If producers cannot pass the tax burden onto consumers due to demand elasticity, they may absorb the costs, which can negatively impact their profitability. Ultimately, the incidence of a tax can influence market behavior, pricing strategies, and overall economic activity.
How did consumers benefit from mass production?
The increased efficiency reduced the price.
What will happen if we didn't have enough producers?
If we didn't have enough producers, there would be a shortage of goods and services in the market. This can lead to price increases, scarcity, and potentially impact the overall economy due to reduced supply of essential products. In the long run, it could result in economic instability and lower quality of life for consumers.
What do you think would happen to the rest of the food chain if the population size of the primary consumer is reduced?
If the population size of primary consumers is reduced, it would lead to an increase in the population of producers, as fewer herbivores would be consuming the plants. This could result in overgrowth of vegetation and potential resource depletion. Consequently, secondary consumers may face food shortages due to the decrease in primary consumers, ultimately disrupting the entire food chain and affecting biodiversity. The balance of the ecosystem could be significantly impacted, potentially leading to further declines in various species.
What were the benefits of deregulation to the consumer?
Benefits from deregulation include reduced prices and increased choices for consumers.
What recent consumer trends have affected the chocolate industry?
In the mid-1990s, more producers began catering to health conscious consumers. Popularity of lite (low-fat) candy and lite desserts increased dramatically. Bakers also began offering reduced fat and fat-free chocolate items.
If the atmospheric carbon dioxide were reduced the first organism to disminish in number would most likely be producers primary consumers decomposers scavengers?
Photosynthetic organisms use carbon dioxide to grow, using the sun's energy to break apart the molecules so it can use the carbon to grow. Photosynthetic organisms such as all land-based plants, algae, and phytoplankton could be affected by a severe drop in phytoplankton. The death of the plants would then affect primary consumers of the plants, then ripple out to the carnivorous consumers that eat the plant-eaters.
What are the benefits of a backward linkage?
there is reduced dependence on imported goods since local suppliers provide the raw materials for the producers.
What might happen if a population of producers was removed from the community?
This is impossible, because the producers are all plants and 'suddenly' does not happen when you are talking evolution. Hypothetically, the population would decrease relative to the number of producers that became consumers. By switching sides they would increase the number of consumers and decrease the number of producers, meaning there was not enough food to go around and many consumers would starve.
