1%
producers
0.1%
secondary consumers
primary consumers
100%
decomposers
Brief Explanations
- Energy Level:
- Producers (bottom level) have 100% energy as they convert sunlight into energy via photosynthesis.
- Primary Consumers (middle - lower level) get about 10% of the producers' energy (energy transfer rule of 10% in ecological pyramids).
- Secondary Consumers (middle - upper level) receive about 1% (10% of the 10% from primary consumers).
- Tertiary Consumers (top level) have 0.1% (10% of the 1% from secondary consumers).
- Trophic Level:
- Producers form the first trophic level.
- Primary Consumers (herbivores) are the second trophic level.
- Secondary Consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores) are the third trophic level.
- Tertiary Consumers (carnivores that eat other carnivores) are the fourth trophic level.
