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.
There are many different food chains, so there are many second links, but in general the second link in a food chain is two words and it is a primary consumer.
Yes, as a human, you would typically be considered a tertiary consumer in the food chain. This means that you consume organisms at the secondary consumer level, which in turn consume organisms at the primary consumer level.
The second link in a food chain is typically referred to as the primary consumer, which feeds on the producer (first link) and is then consumed by the secondary consumer.
A spider typically occupies a predator role in a food chain, preying on insects or other small organisms for food. It is usually considered a secondary or tertiary consumer, depending on its position relative to other organisms in the food chain.
Sure! An example of a food chain in a pond could be: algae (producer) - tadpole (primary consumer) - dragonfly nymph (secondary consumer) - fish (tertiary consumer). Another example could be: water lily (producer) - crayfish (primary consumer) - heron (secondary consumer) - otter (tertiary consumer).
what is the sixth consumer in the food chain?
The consumer is always at the top, or end of the food chain. Producers are at the bottom, or beginning of the food chain.
In the the food chain, the secondary consumer eats the primary consumer and the tertiary consumer eats the secondaryconsumer.
the food chain is made up of producer,primary consumer,secondary consumer and tertiary consumer
The role that the consumer in a food chain plays is to take that energy away from that animal by eating it.
Cows are at the bottom of the food-chain, since they are herbivores, not carnivores. In contrast, humans would be at the top.
quaternary consumer
who eats
A mollusk is a primary consumer in the food chain.
A pig is a consumer in the food chain or food web.
A consumer that follows a producer in a food chain is known as a primary consumer or herbivore. These organisms feed directly on producers (plants) for energy and nutrients, forming the second trophic level in the food chain. Examples include rabbits, deer, and cows.
After the producer in the food chain comes the primary consumer, which is usually an herbivore that feeds directly on the producer.
