What type of consumers eats secondary consumers?

• primary consumers

• secondary consumers

• tertiary consumers

• they do photosynthesis and produce their own food

• they pass on most of the energy to tertiary consumers

• they get most of the energy from primary consumers

Why is an energy pyramid a much better model than a food chain to illustrate the 10% rule?

• A pyramid is much wider at the bottom and gets smaller at the top illustrating how energy gets lost

• A food chain illustrates better how the tertiary consumer has less available energy when they eat

• A food web is better because it shows all the connections in an ecosystem

• A food chain is always better than a food web and energy pyramid to illustrate the 10% rule
