There are 8 protons in an element with an atomic number of 8. Atoms are numbered after their number of protons. The number of protons is what defines the element. If the number of protons were to change, the element would not be the same, but another different one. That's why the number of protons is single to each element and they are numbered after them.
The atomic number is many times represented by the letter Z.

Which level of consumer has access to the smallest supply of energy?
Klio2033 [76]
The shorter the food chain, the larger amount of energy obtained. 
Hence, the consumer furthest away from the producer obtains the least energy. 
The quaternary consumer is furthest away. Most energy is lost by then. Hence, it has access to the smallest supply of energy.
