The sun is the original source of energy. This energy is used by green plants that are situated at the beginning of food chains as they are consumed by herbivores, also known as primary consumers. Green plants are known as autotrophs or producers only because they are at the start of food chains. You never learn of a food chain that begins with an animal.

ummm everybody seems to have the same answer but yeah\nim assuming your in gr......7 science?\njust cause thats what i am referring to right now in my head:\n\na producer: like a plant/ something that makes its own food[bottom of food chain]\n\nconsumer: an animal/ something that need food by eating something else.\nthere are a bunch of types of producers but i dont remember the names cuz it was too long ago i think it was...so i will number them\n1: 2nd lowest it only eats plants\n2: eats plants and things that eat plants [3rd lowest]\n3: things that eat plants and animals that eat plant/ plants and animals.[highest/us!]\n\nif 1 animal were to lose its habitat, the plant eater would have no food and it would die and then the 2 woulod be able to eat nothing and the 3 would be able to eat nothing cuz the animals and the plants died. its an ecosystem...ect.....symbiosism....ect..\n\nand included in that test should be some stuff about decomposition or something like that\n..\n..\nand some stuff about \nmutualism; when 2 things are benifiting \nex: the sharks and the suckers\n\n__________.[i forgot]; when i thing benifits but the other is not harmed\nex: i cant think of one right now...but it exsists!\n\nparasitism; when i thing benifits and the other is harmed\nex: a tapeworm in a human\n\nendnote: ppl will see this answer and answer it better based on my answer so *cough*i think i should get best answer*endcough* and i totaly am just typing this out of my brain what i learnt 2 years ago so i dont remember much ^_^"""

An energy pyramid is a graphical model of energy flow in a community. The different levels represent different groups of organisms that might compose a food chain. From the bottom-up, they are as follows:\n 1 Producers-bring energy from nonliving sources into the community.\n  2 primary consumers-eat the producers, which makes them herbivores in most communities.\n 3 secondary consumers-eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivores.\n 4Tertiary consumers-eat secondary consumers, which makes them omnivores.\n In some food chain, there is a a fourth consumer level, and a rarely, a fifth.

Energy comes in a variety of forms: light, heat, motion, electricity, and so forth. The energy in food is measured in units of Calories. A Calorie is defined as the quantity of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water 1 degree Celsius. The energy in food is defined in terms of heat because the quantity measured is heat produced upon burning the food. Burning in the presence of oxygen is the process of combustion. Complete combustion results in the production of energy as well as carbon dioxide and water. Look for evidence of these products during your discovery session.\n\n\nFood often is labeled with the number of available Calories per gram of food. In this discovery session, you will measure the amount of energy in Calories in two types of nuts: peanuts and almonds. The accepted values for these nuts are listed in many Calorie-counting and diet books (5.18 Cal/gram for peanuts and 5.47 Cal/gram for almonds). This energy is converted into a usable form by chemical reactions in the human body. Therefore, the number of equivalent Calories of food that you eat gives an indication of the amount of energy you will have at your disposal.\n\nQUESTION: How are calories measured? \n\n\n\nANSWER: The caloric value of food is the energy produced by combustion of its proteins, carbohydrates and fats. The amount of energy liberated by the catabolism of food in the body is almost the same as the amount liberated when food is burnt outside the body. The energy liberated by catabolic processes is used for maintaining body functions namely digestion, thermoregulation, muscular contraction and nerve impulses conduction. The amount of energy liberated / unit time is the metabolic rate. When food is burnt outside the body, all the energy is liberated as heat. \n\nThe standard unit of heat energy is the calorie (cal), which is defined as the amount of heat energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 ml of water by one degree, from 15 to 16 celsius at rest. \n\nA slightly different calorie is used in engineering, the international calorie, which equals 1/860 international watt-hour (4.1868 J). A large calorie, or kilocalorie, usually referred to simply as a calorie and sometimes as a kilogram calorie, equals 1,000 calories and is the unit used to express the energy-producing value of food in the calculation of diets. \n\nThe energy released by combustion of foodstuffs outside the body can be measured directly and indirectly. In direct calorimetry method the liberated energy can be measured using a bomb calorimeter. It is a metal vessel surrounded by a water insulated container. The food is ignited by an electric spark. The change in the temperature of water is a measure of the calories produced. \n\nIn indirect method, the energy production can also be calculated by measuring the amount of oxygen consumed for combustion of food. The amount of oxygen consumed / unit of time is proportionate to the energy liberated. This method of energy estimation is called wet combustion. The caloric value of carbohydrate is 4.1 Kcal /g, protein is 5.65 Kcal/ g and fat is 9.4 Kcal/g.

First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another. The First Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation) states that energy is always conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed. In essence, energy can be converted from one form into another. Click here for another page (developed by Dr. John Pratte, Clayton State Univ., GA) covering thermodynamics.\n\nok now to answer your question:\nWork=PV=nRT\nWork=(2moles)(8.32)(106-21)\nWork=1414.4J

We can think in general terms of a food chain consisting of three main groupings, or trophic levels: plants, herbivores, and carnivores. Plants are at the "bottom" of the food chain—they are able to make their own food by using the energy from the sun (they are autotrophic). Because they produce their own food, they are called Producers. All other living things that can't make their own food must consumer the producers, so they are called consumers (and are heterotrophic). Consumers are higher up the food chain (at a higher trophic level) and are either herbivores (they directly consume the producers) or carnivores (they eat other consumers). Macroinvertebrates are heterotrophic and may be both herbivores and carnivores. \n\nBecause benthic macroinvertebrates eat and are eaten, they are smack-dab in the middle of the food chain, a position that is critical in a healthy stream ecosystem. Herbivorous stream bugs consume plants and algae (these bugs are the scrapers and shredders). \n\nThe benthic macroinvertebrates that eat small fish, small amphibians, and other stream bugs are the carnivores. These predaceous macroinvertebrates are the predators\n\nTo confuse matters slightly, there is another group in addition to the herbivores and carnnivores. Detritivores are sort of a combination of herbivores and carnivores. Detritivores shred and eat leaves and other organic matter that contain nourishing fungi, algae, and bacteria. They absorb the nutrients as they break down the material into smaller sizes that other bugs utilize. Detritivores are the shredders and collectors. \n\nStream bugs may get eaten by other macroinvertebrates and fish that depend upon them for food. For example, both juvenile and adult salmon eat macroinvertebrates. And not only do other consumers need them for food, but when the bugs die, they decay and leave nutrients behind that flow back into the food chain. \n\nSo without the stream bugs, organic materials won't be processed, nutrients won't get recycled back into the system, and many consumers won't have any food—in short, the system degrades until it is unhealthy or dead, then most bugs couldn't live there even if they wanted to.

You mean trophic levels?  It's a primary consumer...which means it ranks just above plants, but under secondary consumers.

In biology, a primary consumer eats plants and other producers, and a secondary consumer eats primary consumers. \n\nExample: primary; rabbits\nsecondary; owls

The source of energy is food. Food is digested, giving you energy.

The most basic ground rule is that as energy flows from one trophic level (prey) to the higher level (predator) that about 90% of that energy is lost due to respiration.  So if 100 units of energy from phytoplankton are passed to zooplankton and then to small fish you would only get a 1 unit increase in the energy store in the small fish.  So the highest trophic levels have much less energy and are typically large organisms that are not very abundant.

If you're human, you do.  The food you eat is broken down to make the energy you need to live.  The energy is measured in calories.
