What are tertiary producers?

Tertiary producers are organisms that consume other consumers or secondary producers. They occupy the fourth trophic level in a food chain or food web. Examples include carnivores that feed on herbivores or omnivores.


Are omnivores a primary or a secondary consumers why?

Omnivore is a secondary (2nd order) consumer. This is because primary consumer must only be plant eaters. Although omnivore consume plants, they also eat meat.Here is the order of the food chain (hope it helps):1) SUN (ultimate source of energy)2) PRODUCERS (plants - autotrophs: can make their own food using photosynthesis)3) PRIMARY/1ST ORDER CONSUMER (herbivours - only eat plants)4) SECONDARY/2ND ORDER CONSUMER(carnivours/omnivores)5) DECOMPOSERS (bacteria, worms, fungi etc breaks down dead organisms as food and return nutrients to soil)


Are eagles primary producers?

No. Only photosynthesisers, usually green plants, are producers. There are no degrees of being a producer, the organism photosynthesises or it does not. Eagles, being top predators, are consumers.


Are mealworm scavengers herbivores carnivores or omnivores?

only producers such as clover grass weat and trees


What level of a consumer is a animal if they only eat animals that eat plants?

Secondary consumers; it goes producers, primary consumers (herbivores), secondary and tertiary consumers (carnivores and omnivores). Then there are detrivores, which eat dead and dying plants and animals and recycle their nutrients back to the soil.

Consumers that eat plants?

There are basically three levels of consumers: primary, secondary and top level consumer. Primary consumers include organisms which feed on the producers, that is to say, green plants. Herbivores are included under this category. Secondary consumers include those organisms which feed on primary consumers. They indirectly derive nutrition from the producers. Top level consumers are those which feed on either primary or secondary consumers or both. consider a food chain like this: plant -> rat -> snake -> predatory bird in this food chain, the first level consumer is rat(herbivore) while snake is second level(carnivore) and finally a predatory bird which feeds on both rat and snake, which makes it a top level consumer.
