Primary consumers that eat only plants, also known as herbivores.Secondary consumers prey upon primary consumers and are often called carnivores.Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
Primary Consumers, also known as Herbivores, are named as such because they eat apostrophes such as plants and algae. Apostrophes store the energy of the sun and Primary Consumers (primary meaning first) are the first to extract this energy from the apostrophes. Primary Consumers are complex organisms that can only be eaten by other organisms; such organisms are called Carnivores.
Yes, some can be. Some are considered to be 'vegan' and are only primary consumers. They would not eat anything but plants. The Giant Panda is an example. Some others that normally will eat only plants do eat other things like insects or even mushrooms at times, making them secondary consumers. Humans and other animals will eat anything and are omnivores. I guess they would also fit into being both.
A primary consumer simply put is a herbivore. It is the first level of consumers, meaning the first level of organisms on the food chain that doesn't produce its own food.
Penguins are not a primary consumer. They are known as secondary consumers as they eat small fish. Those small fish are primary consumers.
There are many, many species of insects - some are primary consumers, and some are secondary consumers. A primary consumer eats producers (plants), and is also known as a herbivore. An example of an insect that is a herbivore is the cicada. A secondary consumer is also known as a carnivore. It consumes primary consumers (herbivores). An example of a carnivorous insect is the Sand wasp.
Examples of secondary consumers are; lions, dogs and foxes.Plants are producers (they make their own food). Primary consumers eat producers - these are also called herbivores. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers - these are also called carnivores.
