No! Carnivores are secondary consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers.
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
Secondary consumers - primary consumers are the herbivores
Primary consumers are both herbivores and carnivores. So yes, because carnivores eat herbivores.
e.g. ORGANISM BIOMASS Grass 1000 Herbivores 300 Small Carnivores 28 Large Carnivores 6 1) from producer to primary = (300/1000)x100 2) from primary to secondary = (28/300)x100 3) from secondary to carnivores = (6/28)x100 Hope this helps :)
Wolves are alpha predators; they are primary consumers.
Primary consumers that eat only plants, also known as herbivores.Secondary consumers prey upon primary consumers and are often called carnivores.Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
primary consumers are herbivores and secondary consumers are carnivores so secondary consumers eat primary consumers
Plants are producers, herbivores are primary consumers, and carnivores are secondary consumers, or higher if they eat other carnivores. For example, a carnivore that eats secondary consumer carnivores is a tertiary consumer.
Carnivores (meat-eaters) and omnivores are secondary consumers because they eat primary consumers.
Primary producers (plants, algae) decomposers (worms, fungi) Primary consumers (herbivores) Secondary consumers (carnivores) Trimary consumers (carnivores) usually stops there because of energy loss
the secondary consumer feeds on the primary consumer.
from top to bottom of the pyramid: tertiary consumers... and so on. secondary consumers (carnivores) primary consumers (herbivores) primary producers (like grass)
