Would you expect more primary consumers or tertiary consumers within an ecosystem?

There are more primary consumers within an ecosystem because they gain more energy than tertiary consumers from the energy pyramid, allowing for them to grow in numbers quicker than the other.

Energy Pyramid

The energy pyramid is a triangular shaped diagram that consists of primary, secondary and tertiary consumers. the primary is on top, secondary in the middle and tertiary on the very bottom. Primary consumers give energy to secondary consumers.

mass and weight are closely related because mass affects the weight of an object experiencing the effects of gravity. weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an objects's mass, while mass is the measure of how much matter there is in an object.
