They consume the plants (producers) and obtain the most amount of nutrients and energy and then get eaten by the secondary consumers who obtain a little less energy since it is being passed down a line. Cows would be a primary who consumers grass that obtained energy and nutrients through photosynthesis and then we eat the cow (secondary) and gain what was left from the grass after the cow ate it and spent energy
Producers provide much needed energy in an ecosystem. Ten producers in a forest ecosystem are: grass, berries, shrubs, flowers, trees, weeds, algae, lichen, mosses, and fungi.
Without secondary consumers, primary consumers would likely experience an increase in population, leading to overgrazing or overconsumption of primary producers. This could disrupt the entire food chain and ecosystem balance, ultimately affecting the biodiversity and stability of the ecosystem.
Producers since they make up the population. Yes, they will be threatened by the primary consumers, But since there main goal is to produce, not consume.
Yes, a primary consumer refers to an organism in an ecosystem that feeds on producers, while a consumer is a broader term that refers to any organism that consumes other organisms for food. Therefore, all primary consumers are consumers, but not all consumers are primary consumers.
Super fun question. Primary consumers are animals that eat plants. In Colorado that would include small animals such as rabbits and squirrel up to large animals such as elk. Primary consumers then are eaten by predators such as bobcats, hawks and mountain lions.
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.
Answer this question… Primary consumers eat secondary consumers, which rely on producers for food.
Producers, Primary Consumers Secondary Consumers Tertiary Consumers
Secondary consumers
there won`t be any primary consumers
No, They are primarily consumed!
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
Primary consumers are impotant because they eat the producers if there was no primary consumers there probably wouldn't be second or third consumers
A primary consumer will never become a secondary consumer. In an ecosystem, there is one primary consumer and one secondary consumer, just like there is only one producer. Each member of an ecosystem has its specific duty.
The consumers in an ecosystem eat the producers. The predator eats the primary consumer
Because primary consumers find it easier to eat grass, In grassland there is much more grass than in a rainforest
Primary level consumers
