Decomposers will break down dead animals and plants leaving free the nutrients or minerals necessary for plants to grow.

What trophic level must have more of than others?

:) The 1st trophic level has more energy. The first trophic level consists of producers(plants and algae). They has more energy because they create their own food (photosynthesis). Hope this answer helps :)


Animals that feed on plants are in what trophic level?

Not sure what yo mean by trophic level. But the classification is called herbivore.


Is a jack rabbit a consumer?

In the food chain, a rabbit is considered a first level consumer. The food chain consists of different types of organisms that are arranged by trophic levels. The trophic levels from the bottom to the top are: producers, first or primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and quaternary consumers. Since rabbits are herbivores and eat plants that are considered producers, they are primary consumers.


According to modern ideas what is the first step in the origin of life A Volcanic activity B The formation of simple organic molecules C presence of oxygen in Earth environment?

The formation of simple organic molecules is considered the first step in the origin of life according to modern ideas. These molecules would have eventually evolved into more complex structures, leading to the development of primitive life forms. Volcanic activity and the presence of oxygen played important roles in shaping the early Earth environment but are not typically considered as the initial step in the origin of life.


As ddt moves up the trophic levels in food chains its concentration?

increases. This is known as biomagnification, where organisms higher up in the food chain accumulate higher levels of DDT due to consuming prey that have ingested or absorbed the chemical. This can lead to harmful effects on top predators due to the higher concentrations of DDT in their bodies.

Why are the producers the first trophic level to benefit from the activity of decomposers?

Producers, such as plants, benefit from the activity of decomposers by breaking down dead organic matter and converting it into nutrients that can be taken up by the plants. This nutrient recycling allows the producers to grow and thrive, making them the first trophic level to benefit from decomposers.


What organism makes up the first trophic level?

decomposers and producers.


At the trophic level would you expect to find these organisms?

Without specific organisms provided, it is difficult to determine their trophic level. However, plants are typically found at the primary producer level (first trophic level), herbivores at the primary consumer level (second trophic level), carnivores at the secondary or tertiary consumer levels, and decomposers at the final trophic level.


What is an organism's relative position in a sequence of energy transfers in a food chain or food pyramid?

An organism's relative position in a sequence of energy transfers in a food chain or food pyramid is determined by its trophic level. Producers occupy the first trophic level, followed by primary consumers, secondary consumers, and so on, with decomposers at the end. Energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next as organisms are consumed by those at higher trophic levels.


What trophic level are lichen?

Lichen is a composite organism consisting of a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. As such, they do not fit neatly into traditional trophic levels, as they are not strictly consumers, producers, or decomposers. Instead, they play a unique role as primary producers in ecosystems by converting sunlight and nutrients into energy through photosynthesis.


What trophic level is a quail in?

What is the hawks trophic level?

they are tertiary consumers. the first trophic level.


What is an organisms position in a sequence of energy transfers?

An organism's position in a sequence of energy transfers is determined by its trophic level - where it falls in the food chain. Producers are at the first trophic level, followed by herbivores, then carnivores, and finally decomposers. Each level represents a transfer of energy from one organism to the next in an ecosystem.


Organisms at the first trophic level are called?

Producers make up the first trophic level. A trophic level is each step in a food chain or food web is called a trophic level.


What are the examples of a trophic level?

First trophic level (primary) - Plants, fruits and vegetables. Second trophic level (secondary) - Deer, mice, rabbits. Third trophic level (tertiary) - Eagles, wolves, wild cats.


What animal would be at the 2nd trophic level?

The group of organisms that occupy the second trophic level of an ecosystem is the herbivores. The herbivores eat the plants in the first trophic level and are then called primary consumers. -Gallo :)


How do you put on a benefit?

Put on a benefit activity by first identifying the cause you want to benefit. A benefit singing may be the easiest benefit to operate. Invite a group to sing at a location with plenty of seating. Advertise well and ask for donations at the event.
