What else can I help you with?
What are the three terms used to describe organisms such as lions?
3rd Order Hetertrophs, Top Carnivores, Tertiary Consumers
What is the apex land predator?
The carnivores that are not hunted or eaten by any other species are called top or apex carnivores.
Why is there only 4 trophic levels?
Organisms in each trophic level pass on significantly less energy to the next trophic levels compared to what they received. As the amount of energy gets smaller, the ability to sustain life is lost, hence an unlimited number of trophic levels is not possible.
Is the animal Siberian lynx at the top of the food chain?
No, the Siberian lynx is not at the top of the food chain. They are carnivores that primarily prey on small to medium-sized mammals. In their ecosystem, they may have predators like wolves or bears that are higher up on the food chain.
What organism feeds on lion?
Lions are apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain and do not have any natural predators. However, when lions die, their carcasses can be scavenged by hyenas, vultures, and other large carnivores.
What would happen if a forest habitat if all removed all top carnivores?
what happens in a forest habitat without top carnivores
What is at the top and bottom of a energy pyramid?
Top: Tertiary Consumers (carnivores that eat other carnivores) Bottom: Producers (plants, algae, protists, etc.)
What are the top carnivores?
lions
Why are top carnivores relatively rare in number?
Top carnivores like lion, leopard, tiger etc are mostly at the top of the food chain(teritiary consumers) & hence they get the minimum amount of energies from the lower tropic levels (10% law). Such amount of energy can't support large number of individuals, the more you are on the right side of food chain, the less amount of energy you get.
What is at the top of the energy pyramid?
At the top of the energy pyramid are the tertiary consumers or top predators. These are organisms that consume secondary consumers and have no predators of their own in the ecosystem. Examples include large carnivores like lions or sharks.
Why are top carnivores usually omnivores?
it maybe because top carnivores eats plants nd meat as well as omnivores do
Why are producers first links of a food chain?
if there wasn't a producer there would be no energy being transferred. then the animals would weaken and start getting eaten by the carnivores. soon the herbivores species would be gone. then the carnivores all dieing. after all the animals would be dead.
What are top carnivores?
at the end of a food chain there are big animals that get all the nutriants and energy, E.G -Lion -Shark -Tiger -hawk -Bear and more.
Would green algae be found at the top of an energy pyramid?
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.
What animal is the top carnivores?
lions and wolves manly
Why are there usually few organisms at the energy pyramid?
In a stable ecoystem, there should always be more producers than carnivores. For one, there has to be more energy, because your energy flow has to reach the top of the pyramid through your primary, secondary, etc. consumers. There has to be more at the bottom because the organisms at the upper levels have to have a food source. How would the jungle look if there were 100 tigers and only 1 plant?
Where on the energy pyramid will you find the following?
from top to bottom of the pyramid: tertiary consumers... and so on. secondary consumers (carnivores) primary consumers (herbivores) primary producers (like grass)
