FoodPyramid

Why there is a bigger area for the producers than the consumers?

there is a bigger area for the producers than the consumers because the producer only gives ten percent of their energy, so the Consumer needs to eat a lots of the producer to get enough energy from the Producer. so they need lots of producers to make the consumers survive and live.

the top park of the pyramid is bigger than the bottom part of the food pyramid. the producer only gives 10 percent of their energy to the first order consumer, the first order consumer only give ten percent of their energy to the second order consumer. that continues and the animals that is on the top part of the food pyramid is smaller because they get less energy from the other consumers.
