Phytoplankton get eaten by Zooplankton and Zooplankton get eaten by Herring but Phyotplankton make their own energy form sunlight so it's a Producer.
It is not a consumer, it is a primry producer
A bluegill is not a primary consumer; it is classified as a secondary consumer. Bluegills primarily feed on insects, zooplankton, and smaller fish, which places them higher in the food chain. Primary consumers are typically herbivores that feed on producers like plants and phytoplankton. In aquatic ecosystems, primary consumers would be organisms like zooplankton that feed on phytoplankton.
Only if they eat other zooplankton (other consumers). Most likely though, they are eating phytoplankton (producers), which makes them primary consumers.
Zooplankton are considered primary consumers because they feed on phytoplankton (which are primary producers). They play a key role in marine food webs by transferring energy from phytoplankton to higher trophic levels.
Consumer
No, a little auk is not a primary consumer; it is a secondary consumer. Little auks primarily feed on small marine organisms like krill and copepods, which are primary consumers that feed on phytoplankton. As they consume these small animals, little auks occupy a higher trophic level in the food chain.
Zooplankton is a consumer because it eats (consumes) other things, e.g: Phytoplankton.
The blue whale is a tertiary consumer, They feed on krill which are tiny crustaceans that feed on phytoplankton (plants). The whales' only natural predator is the orca which would make the orca the top level consumer.
Sea anemones are considered primary consumers because they primarily feed on small fish, shrimp, and other small organisms found in the ocean. They are not considered as secondary consumers because they do not feed directly on other carnivores for energy.
It is not a consumer, it is a primry producer
Krill is not a decomposer it is a primary consumer. Krills like to eat Phytoplankton and Zoo plankton
No, a clam is not a primary consumer. Clams are filter feeders that primarily consume phytoplankton and other microscopic organisms, making them secondary consumers in the food chain. Primary consumers are organisms that consume producers, such as plants or algae, directly.
