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.

Is moray eel a primary consumer or secondary consumer or tertiary consumer?
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
When a secondary consumer eats a primary consumer how much energy gets transferred?
the secondary consumer gets 10% of the energy from consuming primary consumer.
How much energy in a primary consumer?
It gets 10% of energy from the secondary consumer.
Why doesnt the energy from a producer all transfer to the secondary consumer?
Not all the energy from a producer transfer to a secondary consumer because some of this energy is lost along the way.
What each level of an energy pyramid is?

Secondary Consumer
Is a wolf a primary consumer or a secondary consumer?
They are normally considered a secondary consumer.
What is true about secondary consumers in an ecosystem?
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
Is beetle a secondary concumer?
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.

What is a secondary consumer in eco system?
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).
What is the differences between a primary and a secondary consumer?
A primary consumer is an animal that gets all its energy from vegetation. It is also called an herbivore.A secondary consumer is an animal that eats the primary consumers. It is also called a carnivore.
