In a balanced ecosystem, the number of 1. (herbivores, producers, tertiary consumers) is far greater than the number of 2. ( consumers, secondary consumers or omnivores)

Number of producers is far greater than consumers

1. producers 2. consumers

Explanation:

An ecosystem is a biotic community in which the living beings interact with their non-living environment. A food chain can be defined as the linear sequence of transfer of food and energy when one organism is consumed by other organism. The energy distribution is described by an energy pyramid. The energy distribution in the energy pyramid takes place among the trophic levels. The producers belongs to the first and lowermost trophic level. These exhibit the highest energy in the energy pyramid. The producers includes all the autotrophic organisms like plants which are usually more in abundance as compared to organisms in other trophic levels. The primary consumers includes the list of herbivores which are mainly dependent upon plants for their food requirements. The energy in each subsequent higher trophic level decreases when the organisms of lower trophic level are consumed by organisms of higher trophic level.

Therefore, this can be said that to maintain a balance in an ecosystem, the number of producers is far greater than the number of consumers.

prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus in which the dna is stored in, it floats freely inside the cell.

eukaryote cells do have a nucleus in which the dna is stored in.
