Herbivores<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A pyramid of numbers is a graphical representation of the number of organisms at each trophic level in a food chain. The base of the pyramid is the largest, representing the producers, which are the organisms that can make their own food through photosynthesis. The next level up is the primary consumers, which are the herbivores that eat the producers. The next level up is the secondary consumers, which are the carnivores that eat the herbivores. The top level is the tertiary consumers, which are the carnivores that eat the secondary consumers.<\/p>\n<p>In a grassland ecosystem, the producers are the grasses and other plants.
