How can a consumer in the food chain belong to two different groups?
A producer is able to produce their own energy (like a plant), while a primary consumer consumes the energy that the producer produces. A secondary consumes the producers' energy by eating the primary consumer who ate the producer. Omnivores, like humans, are primary consumers when they eat plants and secondary consumers when they eat meat.
Is a fir tree a consumer?
no- a consumer is a meat-eater. A fir tree is a producer
Is there more energy stored in the producer level or the consumer level?
yes producers have the most energy. then the first level cunsumer has one 10th the energy that producers have. and 2nd level cunsumers have one 10th the energy then a 1st level cunsumer has . etc. etc.
Is An organism that eats meat a producer?
No, it is a carniverous consumer (a heterotroph).
Are only meat eating animals are called consumers?
No, any animal that consumes any type of matter,(plant or animal) is a consumer. Aposed to a producer which makes its own food,(most plants).
Is the king cobra a producer or a consumer?
consumer
How do canivores gets energy?
How do carnivores get energy? By eating meat.
Explain what is meant by the statement The amount of food energy passed along grows smaller and smaller as the chain becomes longer?
That statement is talking about a food chain and the amount of available energy: The most energy is available at the producer level. A producer is a plant that gets energy from the sun. The producer is able to make lots of energy by photosynthesis. Then the producer gets eaten by a first-level consumer. This is typically an herbivore (something that eats only plants) but could also be an omnivore (something that eats both plants and meat). Either way, when the first-level consumer eats the producer, it uses most of the energy for its life processes. Life processes are things like growing, having energy to go find more food, reproducing, and caring for young. Surplus energy is stored in the form of fat. This first-level producer gets eaten by a second-level consumer. This might be a carnivore (something that eats only meat) or another omnivore. The second-level consumer can only get the stored energy from its food. This means that there is less energy available to it than there was to the first-level consumer. This chain continues, with less and less energy being available at each step. Because of this fact, there needs to be many producers and low level consumers to support the higher level consumers.
When eating meat where do you get your energy from?
Protein builds muscle carbohydrates release energy
What consumer eats?
Consumers When an animal eats a producer the animal, or consumer, takes in the energy stored in the producer and uses it for their own fuel. Animals that eat plants only are called herbivores. Herbivoresare the first level of consumer called a primary consumer.Animals which eat only meat are called carnivores. Carnivoresare considered secondary consumers because they eat the primary consumer. This means that they are taking in the energy from the primary consumer which itself took in the energy from the producer.Some animals eat both plants and animals these animals are called omnivores. Humans are an example of an omnivore.Animals which eat other animals are also called predators, while the animal that they eat is called prey.Here we see a secondary consumer (the lion) feeding on a primary consumer (the zebra) which had earlier fed on a producer(grass).
How do you get energy from sheep?
By eating the meat from slaughtered sheep or lambs
What is an organism that gets energy by eating meat?
a lion , or a tiger
