EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -It follows that the carnivores (secondary consumers) that feed on herbivores and detritivores and those that eat other carnivores (tertiary consumers) have the lowest amount of energy available to them.

Detailed explanation-2: -As a result, tertiary consumers have the least amount of energy and are therefore at the top of the pyramid (the smallest part).

Detailed explanation-3: -At the bottom of the pyramid, you have producers. These are usually plants or other photosynthetic organisms, such as algae or photosynthetic bacteria. Producers are autotrophs, meaning they are self-feeding organisms that do so by making their own organic molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -The organisms at the top of the tropic pyramid receive the least amount of energy. Tertiary consumers occupy the topmost section of the tropic pyramid. Owl is a tertiary consumer. Lilypad is a primary producer (autotrophs), it has the maximum energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The trophic level that has the least biomass is usually the tertiary consumers. Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food web and subsequently have the least access to energy, according to the 10% rule.
