Sea urchins are consumers. They primarily feed on algae and other plant materials, making them herbivores within their marine ecosystems. By grazing on algae, they help maintain the balance of marine environments, preventing overgrowth and promoting biodiversity.
hello bro how you doin out in the hood
Corals are both producers (they have symbiotic plants living in them) and consumers (herbivores/carnivores) as they filter feed on plankton.
Sea otters are secondary consumers. This because sea urchins are primary and sea otters eat sea urchins.
Usually starfish and sea urchins.
No. Sea urchins are primary consumers and only eat sea weed, algae and kelp.
Marine Worms,Sea Pens and Sea Urchins
A consumer. Producers are generally plants, which "produce" (hence the name) energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Everything else needs to get energy by consuming (hence the name "consumer") a producer, or another consumer. Sea otters generally eat sea urchins and shellfish, which feed on algae. In this food chain, the sea otters are secondary consumers, the urchins and shellfish are primary consumers, and the algae are producers.
They are decomposers.
Seaweeds are producers
Sea decomposers break down organic material in the ocean. These sea decomposers include crabs, sea urchins, shrimp, and seaweed.
No, bacteria are not considered producers. Producers are organisms that can make their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Bacteria are typically classified as decomposers or consumers that obtain their energy by breaking down organic material or consuming other organisms.
