If there were no secondary consumers, the populations of primary consumers would explode and the world would be overrun with rodents, rabbits, etc.
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
No, crickets are not considered secondary consumers. They are primary consumers, as they mainly feed on plants and organic matter. Secondary consumers are animals that primarily feed on primary consumers.
Yes, a maple tree produces its own food and there for is a primary consumer, anything that eats the maple tree would be a secondary consumer.

the whole food chain would be destroyed
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
If there were more secondary consumers than primary consumer, then the primary consumers may not be able to find food to survive and become extinct. With too many secondary consumers as a result of no predators of them, then all of the plants may become extinct as well, causing the whole food chain to die out.
No, a secondary consumer is a carnivore (or omnivore). Herbivores are primary consumers, which are eaten by secondary consumers.
Secondary consumers are herbivores that feed on primary consumers.
The number of primary consumer will increase and it will eat producers which utlimately leads to distruction of all live forms on the earth
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
primary consumers are herbivores and secondary consumers are carnivores so secondary consumers eat primary consumers
A mouse would be considered a secondary consumer because it eats primary consumers (such as insects or seeds). In a food chain, it would come after the primary consumers but before the tertiary consumers.
