No, They are primarily consumed!
The largest parts of an ecosystem is the primary consumers. The ecosystem could hold more of a body size of primary consumers as opposed to secondary consumers.
Only if they eat other zooplankton (other consumers). Most likely though, they are eating phytoplankton (producers), which makes them primary consumers.
Because primary consumers find it easier to eat grass, In grassland there is much more grass than in a rainforest
Primary level consumers
In this situation, the population with the greatest number will be the producers.

Phytoplankton (microalgae), seaweeds (macroalgae) and chemoautotrophic bacteria in order of declining importance.
They are primary producers in an estuarine ecosystem.
Answer this question… Primary consumers eat secondary consumers, which rely on producers for food.
Producers, Primary Consumers Secondary Consumers Tertiary Consumers
Secondary consumers
Zooplankton are both primary and secondary consumers. If they eat algae or cyanobacteria they will be primary consumers. If they eat other zooplankton then they would be secondary consumers. Just as people may eat plants thus making them primary or eat meat making them secondary.
there won`t be any primary consumers
Zooplankton get their food from eating phytoplankton. The phytoplankton are the base of the food chain. Zooplankton are primary consumers or the second step in the food chain.
What would happen if grasses and shrubs were removed from an ecosystem? A.the primary consumers would increaseB.the primary consumers would become secondary consumersC.the primary consumers would die out or move elsewhereD.the primary consumers would stay unchanged
Clams are secondary consumers. They eat on zoo planktons. The food chain starts with the primary producers which is then followed by the primary consumers and then the secondary consumers. The secondary consumers feed on the primary consumers.
Only if they eat other zooplankton (other consumers). Most likely though, they are eating phytoplankton (producers), which makes them primary consumers.
