Hawks do not usually eat plant material, so they are not primary consumers. They do eat animals that are primary consumers (e.g., rabbits, birds), so they can be considered secondary consumers. Some of the animals hawks eat also eat other animals (mice, bats or birds that eat insects, for example), so they can also be considered tertiary consumers.
What else can I help you with?
Can you give me ah sample of food chain?
A basic food chain starts with a primary producer and has a chain of primary, secondary, and tertiary predators. This would start with algae as the primary producer, minnows as the primary predator, sunfish as the secondary predator and pike as the tertiary predator.
Give an example of a food chain with 4 consumers and one producer?
Grass (Producer) -> Grasshopper (Primary consumer) -> Frog (Secondary consumer) -> Snake (Tertiary consumer) -> Hawk (Quaternary consumer)
Construct a diagram of a food webof least 4 animal with an the uppermost trophic level?
Here's one; There's a bug that's eaten by a frog that's eaten by a snake that's eaten by a hawk
Is this statement true or false All predators are secondary consumers while all prey are primary consumers Explain?
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.
Define quaternary consumer?
A quaternary consumer is an organism that occupies the highest trophic level in a food chain and feeds on tertiary consumers. These consumers primarily feed on other carnivores and may not have any natural predators. An example of a quaternary consumer could be a top predator like a human or a shark.
Is a red tailed hawk a secondary consumer or a tertiary?
It's a Tertiary consumer. (:
If a hawk eats a snake what role is the hawk?
Tertiary Consumer
Is hawks secondary consumer?
No, A Hawk Is A Tertiary Consumer. It Eats Secondary Consumers.
Can you give me ah sample of food chain?
A basic food chain starts with a primary producer and has a chain of primary, secondary, and tertiary predators. This would start with algae as the primary producer, minnows as the primary predator, sunfish as the secondary predator and pike as the tertiary predator.
Is a spider a tertiary consumer?
Yes, a spider is generally considered a secondary consumer.
Is a hawk a primary and secondary consumers?
It IS a secondary consumer because it eats other animals
What kind of animal is a consumer?
A Consumer is an animal that eats the Producer. The Producer is always a plant. There are 3 types of consumers:Primary Consumer, Secondary Consumer, and Tertiary Consumer. The Primary Consumer eats the Producer, the Secondary Consumer eats the Primary Consumer, and the Tertiary Consumer eats the Secondary Consumer. Example: Grass ------------> Rabit ------------> Snake ------------> Hawk (producer) (primary consumer) (secondary consumer) (tertiary consumer)
What are quaternary consumers?
what is a quaternary consumer:The Quaternary consumer is the predator that eats the Tertiary consumer. This is an example of the order a food chain goes in:Grass - Grasshopper - Rat - Snake - Hawk - HumanGrass is the Producer and is eaten by the Primary consumer.Grasshopper is the Primary consumer and is eaten by the Secondary consumer.Rat is the Secondary consumer and is eaten by the Tertiary consumer.Snake is the Tertiary consumer and is eaten by the Quaternary consumer.Hawk is the Quaternary consumer and is the apex predator at the top of the food chain.
Is a hawk a tertiary consumer?
I'm not really sure but it is probably a secondary consumer

Which organism is the secondary consumer in this food chain Aspen Rabbit Snake Hawk?
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.
