No, it is not a producer because it eats phytoplankton and therefore is a primary consumer even though it's midget.
Only if they eat other zooplankton (other consumers). Most likely though, they are eating phytoplankton (producers), which makes them primary consumers.
It is a consumer. It feeds on particles.
Phytoplankton get eaten by Zooplankton and Zooplankton get eaten by Herring but Phyotplankton make their own energy form sunlight so it's a Producer.
No, but your but is
Zooplankton eating algae is an example of a feeding stage or trophic level. In this case, zooplankton are primary consumers, as they feed on primary producers like algae. This interaction is crucial in aquatic ecosystems, linking the producer and consumer levels and contributing to the flow of energy within the food web.
Phytoplankton are producers. Zooplankton are not.
No it's a predator feeding upon smaller fish, shrimp and crab. These feed upon zooplankton which in turn eat phytoplankton. These are known as trophic levels. The Phytoplankton would be a primary producer. and a comsumer
Zooplankton is a consumer because it eats (consumes) other things, e.g: Phytoplankton.
Yes, zooplankton is a primary consumer. This is because they feed on the producers in their area and are fed on by the secondary consumers.
What different categories can plankton be placed into?
Producer
