In this food web, the organisms that are both secondary and tertiary consumers are the carnivores that eat other carnivores.
A wolf is an example of an organism that can function as both a secondary and tertiary consumer in an ecosystem.
These organisms are called consumers or heterotrophs. They obtain energy by consuming other living organisms or their remains and extracting nutrients from them through processes like digestion. Examples include carnivores, omnivores, and detritivores.
Both animal and fungi kingdoms are eukaryotic, meaning their cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Additionally, they are both multicellular organisms that rely on external food sources for nutrition.
An primary consumer is an animal that eats plants I think. So they eat plants.correct me if I'm wrong because I don't want to give anybody the wrong answers. You have to have an account on this wikianswers.com though.
Humans fit into the food chain as omnivores who consume both plant and animal matter. We can be both primary consumers (eating plants) and secondary consumers (eating animals). Our position in the food chain relies on our ability to digest a wide variety of foods and adapt to different diets.
Yes, humans are considered tertiary consumers because they primarily feed on organisms from the secondary consumer level in the food chain. As omnivores, humans consume both plants (primary consumers) and animals (secondary consumers), placing them at the tertiary consumer level in many ecosystems.
Humans are omnivores which makes them both primary and secondary consumers.
Why are there fewer top level consumers than lower level consumers
it's a tertiary consumer which are carnivores or meat eaters secondary consumers and omnivores or animals that eat both plants and other animals.
If you mean are they the top predators, then No (as they can be scavengers).
In an ecological food chain consumers are categorized into three groups or levels which are primary consumers, secondary consumers, and the tertiary consumers. Tertiary consumers are usually omnivores. Omnivores are those who feed on both plants and animals. Omnivores can also be considered as secondary consumers. Tertiary consumers, sometimes also known as an apex predator. Human are such example of Tertiary consumers.
Tertiary Consumers: The diets of tertiary consumers may include animals from both the primary and secondary trophic levels. Like secondary consumers, their diet may also include some plants. Examples of tertiary consumers include Hawks, Alligators and Coyotes. Hawks feed on small mammals, lizards and snakes.
Primary>Secondary relies on secondary to buy the output so it can be processed into finished goods Secondary>Primary relies on primary to extract raw materials for them to process Secondary>Tertiary relies on tertiary to distribute their finished goods to consumers/customers Tertiary>Secondary relies on secondary to supply finished goods for them to sell Primary>Tertiary relies on tertiary to distribute and market their goods to both secondary and consumers Tertiary>Primary relies on primary to use their services and thus provide a source of revenue
Consumers in a food chain are organisms that obtain their energy by consuming other organisms. This includes primary consumers (herbivores that eat plants) and secondary consumers (carnivores that eat other animals). Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food chain and typically consume secondary consumers.
Actually,trophic level is feeding position of animals in food chain or food web in ecosystem. [ANIMALS WHICH CONSUME ENERGY CALLED AS CONSUMERS]They are classified as primary consumers [plant eaters are called herbivores] secondary consumers [flesh eaters are called carnivores] tertiary consumers [Eaters of both plants and flesh are called omnivores] RABBIT IS PRIMARY.SPIDER IS SECONDARY AND HUMANS ARE TERTIARY CONSUMERS
A primary consumer eats the producer, a secondary consumer eats the primary consumer. For example grass (producer) is eaten by rabbits (primary consumer) who are eaten by foxes (secondary consumer).
