Secondary consumers receive their energy by consuming other species. The energy that those species had transfers to the carnivore. Energy never ends, it keeps transferring and can change forms. A useful diagram of this process can be found at http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/F/FoodChains.html.
Secondary Consumer
A mouse is a primary consumer.
it is a secondary
Moray eels are considered secondary consumers in the marine food chain. As carnivorous predators, they feed primarily on smaller fish and crustaceans, which are the primary consumers in the ecosystem. This places them one level higher in the food chain as secondary consumers, which means they obtain their energy by consuming primary consumers.
secondary comsumer
the secondary consumer gets 10% of the energy from consuming primary consumer.
It gets 10% of energy from the secondary consumer.
producer consumer secondary consumer
Not all the energy from a producer transfer to a secondary consumer because some of this energy is lost along the way.
Secondary Consumer
They are normally considered a secondary consumer.
A secondary consumer is a predator that eats the primary consumer in an ecosystem. Flow of energy in an ecosystem= primary producer>primary consumer>secondary consumer>teriary consumer
It depends. A secondary consumer is the second creature to eat anything in the food chain. So if a carnivorous bug ate another bug that had already eaten a plant, it would be a secondary consumer. A plant is not a consumer because it gets it's energy from the sun. A consumer is an animal that eats.
No its a Secondary Consumer
Secondary consumer
A secondary consumer is any organism that consumes an organism that has consumed an autotroph. An autotroph is eaten by a primary consumer, which is eaten by a secondary consumer. Put more simply, a secondary (or any further level) consumer is a predator/ carnivore. A primary consumer would be an herbivore, and an autotroph (also known as primary producer) is any organism that creates it own energy (generally plants).
