In a food chain, a shark is considered a carnivorous consumer, specifically a secondary or tertiary consumer, depending on its diet. Sharks feed on other animals, such as fish and marine mammals, rather than producing their own food like autotrophs (plants) do. They are not herbivores, as they do not eat plants, nor are they decomposers, which break down dead organic matter.
no it is an herbivore. this means it is a consumer not a decomposer
HERBIVORE
no it is an herbivore. this means it is a consumer not a decomposer
At the bottom of any food chain is a producer and at the top is a consumer.
An herbivore is a primary consumer.
A secondary consumer is any organism that consumes an organism that has consumed an autotroph. An autotroph is eaten by a primary consumer, which is eaten by a secondary consumer. Put more simply, a secondary (or any further level) consumer is a predator/ carnivore. A primary consumer would be an herbivore, and an autotroph (also known as primary producer) is any organism that creates it own energy (generally plants).
A sloth is a consumer because it eats something else.If it was a producer it would produce its own food from its body and eat that.If it was a decomposer it would most likely be dead and it would be matter or a material for the plants.
its a consumer....primary consumer
decomposer
its a consumer it doesn't photosynthesize and it doesn't decompose and it definitely doesn't eat plants
