Producers->plants
Consumers->herbivores
Secondary Consumers->carnivore that feeds on herbivores
Tertiary Consumers->feed on carnivores
Sun=energy source for producers
decomposers are the greatest in amount of biomass, serving as the foundation of the biomass pyramid.
Ordered by increasing biomass from lowest to highest by a total energy conversion being an average of 10% total energy conversion in each succeeding biomass classification. to understand this, pretend the decomposers have a biomass of 100,000, each level of biomass above decomposers, is divided by 10 to show approximate (obviously not nearly infallible) biomass value.
Decomposers X 100,000 (mushrooms, decomposing bacteria etc.)
producers X 10,000
consumers X 1,000
secondary consumers X 100
tertiary consumers X 10
there ya have it.. just rambled, hopefully this helped!
