What is the tertiary consumer in a food chain? What’s the ultimate source of energy in a food chain?
Answers
A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers. Usually tertiary consumers are carnivorous predators, although they may also be omnivores, which are animals that feed on both meat and plant material.
The ultimate source of the energy in food is the sun. The movement of energy from the sun through different organisms is what creates a food chain....
Answer:
Tertiary consumers are also known as the decomposers in a food chain
they feed on the dead and decaying matter which can be of the primary or secondary consumer
they help in decomposition of organic matter
the sun is the ultimate source of energy.due to the sun the producers which are plants make their food.this food is consumed by consumers which are all the organisms depended on plants.these two die at some point .the body is then decomposed by decomposers
if the sun is absent producers cant make their food and hence the whole chain or ecosysytem will suffer
hence sun is known as the ultimate source of enery
