but you must already know that
and if you don't : -_-
consumers
Secondary Consumers eat other primary consumers. Primary consumers eat plants or producers.
Primary consumers eat primary producers(plant-eaters). Secondary consumers eat primary consumers (meat-eaters) Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers. Quaternary consumers eat tertiary consumers.
consumers just eat plants.
do consumers eat animals
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
No. They are secondary consumers. They eat animals (primary consumers) who eat plants (producers). So, they are not primary consumers.
Secondary consumers, mainly. They eat a variety of things.
Heyenas are the highest level. Trust me. I KNOW.
Well, hello there, friend! In the tropical rainforest, primary consumers are plant-eaters like insects and monkeys. Secondary consumers are animals that eat the primary consumers, such as snakes and birds. Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food chain and they eat the secondary consumers, like jaguars and eagles. Each one plays a vital role in keeping the delicate balance of the rainforest ecosystem. Isn't nature just amazing?
carnivoresSecondary consumers eat primary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores (animals that eat plants). Therefore secondary consumers eat other animals and are sometimes called carnivores. (Secondary consumers could also be omnivores.)
Insects are always consumers because they must consumefood in order to obtain energy. Insects commonly eat plants, other insects, or dead animals. Some insects are even parasites, meaning that they feed off of a living organism without killing it. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are the only producers because they use the sun's energy in a process called photosynthesis to produce their own energy. Insects can be primary consumers (organisms that eat producers such as plants), secondary consumers (organisms that eat primary consumers), or even tertiary consumers (organisms that eat secondary consumers).
