the cheetah is a primary animal
A primary consumer is an animal that gets all its energy from vegetation. It is also called an herbivore.A secondary consumer is an animal that eats the primary consumers. It is also called a carnivore.
Primary consumer, secondary consumer, main consumer
A primary consumer obtains its energy from producers (i.e. plants). Therefore a rabbit is a primary consumer because it eats grass and other plants. A secondary consumer eats primary consumers, therefore they do not get their energy directly from plants.The fox that eats the rabbit would be a secondary consumer.
A rabbit is a primary consumer since it is a herbivor a secondary consumer would be an animal that eats the primary consumer like a fox.
An animal that feeds on smaller plant-eating animals in a food chain. a consumer who consumes the first consumer A Secondary Consumer is a human/animal that eats meat and veggie.
A secondary consumer is a predator that eats the primary consumer in an ecosystem. Flow of energy in an ecosystem= primary producer>primary consumer>secondary consumer>teriary consumer
Sheeps are primary consumers, because they eat grass and if an animal eats plants they are called primary consumers
An animal that eats grass and other green plants; harbour
True. Any animal that eats a herbivore can be called a secondary consumer. The reason for this is because a herbivore consumes plants (producers), so the herbivore is known as a primary consumer. The secondary consumer would feed on the primary consumer, which is why it's called a secondary consumer, and the herbivore is called a primary consumer. So the order is - The plant is the producer, the herbivore (which eats plants) is the primary consumer, the animal that eats the herbivore (the primary consumer) is the secondary consumer, and the animal that eats the secondary consumer (the animal that eats the herbivore) is known as the tertiary consumer. If you want to go even farther, the animal that eats the tertiary consumer is known as the Quaternary consumer. An example would be a flower (the producer) that is fed upon by a grasshopper (the primary consumer). A rat or mouse (the secondary consumer) feeds on the grasshopper, and a snake (the tertiary consumer) feeds on the mouse/rat. Finally, a hawk (the quaternary consumer) feeds upon the snake. Thus completing the cycle. A secondary consumer can also be a primary consumer too (a herbivore), if it's able to feed on a herbivore as well as plants. Laura~ This is absoulotley true. I was asking this question too, thanks again.
A secondary consumer in a food web is the carnivorous or omnivorous animal that feeds on the primary consumer, which is the organism (normally a plant) that eats the producer (normally a plant).
An okapi is considered a primary consumer. This animal is an herbivore that eats plants but is consumed by secondary consumers.
