How do heterotrophs obtain nitrogen and carbon?
A heterotroph is an organism that must consume organic material for energy. Heterotrophs obtain carbon and nitrogen from the foods they consume. All living things contain some amount of protein, and proteins contain the nitrogen that heterotrophs need. Carbon is found in proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, so whatever a heterotroph eats, it will get lots of carbon.Heterotrophs get nitrogen and carbon from their food. Primary consumers get them by eating plants. Whereas secondary consumers get them from eating primary consumers.
Where do primary consumers get there carbon from?
Plants
How do consumers get the carbon they need?
They obtain it in form of carbohydrates by eating animals
Which organism eat only plants?
Herbivores are organisms that eat only plants. They have specialized digestive systems that allow them to break down the cellulose in plant material for energy. Examples of herbivores include cows, rabbits, and deer.
Are animals primary consumers of carbon dioxide?
Animals emit carbon dioxide. Plants consume carbon dioxide.
Why is a cow a producer?
Cows are primary consumers because they eat plants. In fact, all vegetarian or herbivorous animals are primary consumers. Consumer levels are defined by the way in which an organism obtains energy. Plants obtain energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Primary consumers obtain energy by eating plants, and secondary consumers obtain energy by eating other animals.
Are primary carnivores consumers?
No! Carnivores are secondary consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers.
Are deer primary consumers?
No, a deer would be a primary consumer. Remember that the trophic levels follow: primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.
Do primary consumers eat other primary consumers?
no
What are primary secondary and tertiary consumers in the tropical rain forest?
primary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the producers secondary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the primary consumers tertiary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the secondary consumers
What is a secondary primary and Tertiary consumer?
Primary consumers eat primary producers(plant-eaters). Secondary consumers eat primary consumers (meat-eaters) Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers. Quaternary consumers eat tertiary consumers.
Are mice primary or secondary consumers?
Rats are primary consumers. This means they will eat almost everything. In the wild, primary consumers provide nutrition for secondary consumers.
