A producer is able to produce their own energy (like a plant), while a primary consumer consumes the energy that the producer produces. A secondary consumes the producers' energy by eating the primary consumer who ate the producer. Omnivores, like humans, are primary consumers when they eat plants and secondary consumers when they eat meat.
no- a consumer is a meat-eater. A fir tree is a producer
No, it is a carniverous consumer (a heterotroph).
No, any animal that consumes any type of matter,(plant or animal) is a consumer. Aposed to a producer which makes its own food,(most plants).
There is more energy stored at the producer level. This is because producers, like plants, capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis and convert it into chemical energy, which then gets passed on to consumers when they eat the producers. As energy is transferred up the food chain, some is lost as heat, so the amount of energy available decreases at higher trophic levels.
consumer
A meal that includes a steak (from a cow, a primary consumer) and vegetables (from plants, primary producers) would involve feeding at two trophic levels: primary consumer and primary producer. By consuming both the steak and vegetables, the person would be consuming energy from both levels of the food chain.
How do carnivores get energy? By eating meat.
Protein builds muscle carbohydrates release energy
At the base plants, at the top the apex predators and all down one side the decomposers.
No, its is not possible for a carnivore to be a producer at the same time. A producer will have no need to become a consumer if it can sustain itself. that is true my friend but it can be food for other carnivors and when it dies what happens it rottens into the soil to form dirt. and this dirt amkes a plant. so yeah it can be a producer. dont give my answer to your teacher they will not accept it. XD!
By eating the meat from slaughtered sheep or lambs
