Heterotrophs obtain energy from foods they consume, and Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun light
The biggest way that that differ, is the way that they reach the consumer.
Protozoa eat food to obtain energy and algae use photosynthesis.
Cows are primary consumers because they eat plants. In fact, all vegetarian or herbivorous animals are primary consumers. Consumer levels are defined by the way in which an organism obtains energy. Plants obtain energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Primary consumers obtain energy by eating plants, and secondary consumers obtain energy by eating other animals.
a consumer will respond to the price changes in such a way that it could express its marginal utility
It eats, it's a consumer. Only plants are producers and decomposes are bugs that eat dead animals.
a producer makes(produces) its own food and a consumer consumes its food from other living things(animals)
A producer could continue to produce without the presence or interaction of consumers. For example: Bees will continue to make honey as long as they can access what they need as consumers to then become producers of honey. A bear, as a consumer, will not die if he doesn't consume the honey, as long as the bear can access other food sources as a consumer. But if a consumer must rely on one type of producer, and that producer fails to produce, the consumer would either need to find other sources of nutrients to consume, or if unable to find/adapt to other sources, the consumer would die.
Plants are producers because they produce their own food using the sun's energy.The arctic fox is a consumer and because they eat other consumers and not grass they are called secondary consumers
All animals are consumers. If they cannot produce their own food the way that plants do, then they must consume it; hence the name consumer.
A European Red squirrel is a consumer. Because a European Red squirrel can not make it's own food. Here is an example of a producer. Aquatic plants are producers. One, it makes its own food, two it feeds other organisma also. So just keep this in mind, when u ask urself, just think of it this way, do they make their own food??? Oh and also, all plants are producers fyi. so the answer for your question is that yes, a European Red squirrel is a consumer since it has to look for its food in order to survive.
