It is a consumer. It feeds on particles.
Only if they eat other zooplankton (other consumers). Most likely though, they are eating phytoplankton (producers), which makes them primary consumers.
Phytoplankton get eaten by Zooplankton and Zooplankton get eaten by Herring but Phyotplankton make their own energy form sunlight so it's a Producer.
Zooplankton are both primary and secondary consumers. If they eat algae or cyanobacteria they will be primary consumers. If they eat other zooplankton then they would be secondary consumers. Just as people may eat plants thus making them primary or eat meat making them secondary.
Zooplankton are considered primary consumers because they feed on phytoplankton (which are primary producers). They play a key role in marine food webs by transferring energy from phytoplankton to higher trophic levels.
yes
No, it is not a producer because it eats phytoplankton and therefore is a primary consumer even though it's midget.
Zooplankton is a consumer because it eats (consumes) other things, e.g: Phytoplankton.
Answer is primary consumer. (depending on the type of web you are constructing) krill is a primary consumer or secondary because the primarys include phytoplanktons, zooplankton algae etc and since kill eat phyto and zoo plankton it would be a primary consumer or in a food web it would be in the second bottom row making it secondary in the food piramid or web. eg. bottom row: phytoplankton and zooplankton second bottom row: krill, prawns, and fish then the next up are the tertiary and quaternary row, which are the higher levels in the food web.
no it is not
Sea anemones are considered primary consumers because they primarily feed on small fish, shrimp, and other small organisms found in the ocean. They are not considered as secondary consumers because they do not feed directly on other carnivores for energy.
What different categories can plankton be placed into?
