What is a consumer in biology?
A consumer is a living organism that cannot synthesize energy from the sun. Therefore, consumers get energy by eating other organisms. There are many levels of consumers that make up the food web. These can include primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and sometimes quaternary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores (they can only consume autotrophs). As energy travels from autotrophs to quaternary consumers, much of the energy is used by organisms or (primarily) dissipated as heat. Therefore, there are less quaternary consumers than autotrophs because quaternary consumers cannot get as much energy.
What is organism that gets energy by eating another organism is known as?
a consumer

What are the omnivore carnivore and herbivore's group are called?
Organisms that cannot synthesize their own food obtain it directly or indirectly from producers and are called heterotrophs ("other-feeders") or consumers-they acquire their energy and many of their nutrients prepackaged in the molecules that compose the bodies of other organisms.
Obtains its energy from digesting food?
All heterotrophs (consumers) obtain their energy from eating food.
How do consumers get energy and nutrients?
by eating food

What organism gets energy from eating plants or animals?
Fungi absorb nutrients from living or dead organic matter (plant or animal stuff) that they grow on. They absorb simple, easily dissolved nutrients, such as sugars, through their cell walls. They give off special digestive enzymes to break down complex nutrients into simpler forms that they can absorb.
How do organism in each of the three energy roles obtain chemical energy?
Producers Consumer Decomposer
An organism that can not make its own food?
An organism that cannot make its own food is called a consumer. Organisms that make their own food are called producers. Consumers must create energy from eating producers or other consumers.

What organism feeds on all levels of the energy pyramid?
micro organism
Is snakes a producer a consumer or a decomposer?
A producer is an organism that makes energy from light - snakes don't do that.A decomposer is an organism that causes decay - snakes don't do that either. Snakes are consumers because they get their energy by eating other organisms
What is a ecological community?
A major ecological community is consumers. These are organism that gain energy needed for their survival by eating plants and animals that are either alive or dead.
How consumers acquire energy to live?
By eating producers or other consumers.
