Question

observing the sizes in an pyramid, the are the largest group, primary consumers 2nd largest, secondary consumers 3rd largest, and consumers are the smallest. this is an important concept regarding how food chains and food webs are represented by scientific models to show energy pathways among living organisms. there is a energy as you move up each successive level of the pyramid. are producers like plants and phytoplankton that to make their own glucose, or food. are living organisms that either producers or other consumers to obtain energy. must consume energy loss producers complete photosynthesis autotrophs gain heterotrophs 90% tertiary

Explanation:

• Energy pyramid: A model representing energy flow in an ecosystem.
• Producers (Autotrophs): Organisms like plants that make their own food via photosynthesis.
• Consumers (Heterotrophs): Organisms that consume others for energy.
• Energy loss: As energy moves up the pyramid, about 90% is lost at each level.
• Tertiary consumers: The top - level consumers in the pyramid.

Answer:

1. energy
2. producers
3. tertiary
4. loss
5. Autotrophs
6. complete photosynthesis
7. Heterotrophs
8. must consume
