No, a deer would be a primary consumer. Remember that the trophic levels follow: primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.

Is a horse a primary consumer?

Yes, a horse is considered a primary consumer because it primarily feeds on vegetation such as grass and plants. Primary consumers are herbivores that consume producers (plants) as their primary food source in the food chain.


How do you calculate the percentage biomass passed on from 1 from producers to primary consumers 2 from primary to secondary consumers 3 from secondary consumers to carnivores?

e.g. ORGANISM BIOMASS Grass 1000 Herbivores 300 Small Carnivores 28 Large Carnivores 6 1) from producer to primary = (300/1000)x100 2) from primary to secondary = (28/300)x100 3) from secondary to carnivores = (6/28)x100 Hope this helps :)


What is the relationship between a primary consumer and a secondary 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.


How does energy go through the ecosystem of producers to consumers?

It decreases by 10%. A producer has 100% to start with, when an animal such as a deer eats the grass, shrub, flower, ect it only actually gets 10% of the energy. When a tiger eats a deer, the tiger is only getting 1% of the original energy, and so on.


What is true about secondary consumers in an ecosystem?

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
