Answer:

Primacy Producers----- Oak tree , primary consumers------ Caterpillars , secondary consumers ------- blue jays, and tertiary consumers ----- hawk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oak tree refers to the primacy Producers in this pyramid because it produces food by using the solar energy. Caterpillars are primary consumers that feeds on the producers and also known as herbivores, blue jays are the secondary consumers that feeds on the primary consumer which is the caterpillar, and tertiary consumers are the hawk that feeds on the secondary consumer i.e. blue jays. In this way, energy flows in the food chain of an ecosystem. During this flow of energy, only 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to another while the remaining releases in the environment in the form of heat energy.
