Caterpillars are consumers in the food chain, as they feed on plants. They are primary consumers that obtain nutrients by eating plant material. They play a crucial role in transferring energy from plants to higher trophic levels in the ecosystem.
Examples of secondary consumers are; lions, dogs and foxes.Plants are producers (they make their own food). Primary consumers eat producers - these are also called herbivores. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers - these are also called carnivores.
organisms that eat only plants like deers, for example!
Caterpillars are not decomposers. They are consumers.
No! Carnivores are secondary consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers.
It's a primary consumer. Primary consumers eat plants (which are producers). Secondary conusmers are carnivores that eat the primary (and sometimes other secondary) producers. Another example: Gazelles eat plants (making them a primary consumer), Cheetas eat gazelles (making them secondary consumers) since they eat the thing that eats plants. Hope that helps!
no
primary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the producers secondary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the primary consumers tertiary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the secondary consumers
Primary consumers eat primary producers(plant-eaters). Secondary consumers eat primary consumers (meat-eaters) Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers. Quaternary consumers eat tertiary consumers.
Rats are primary consumers. This means they will eat almost everything. In the wild, primary consumers provide nutrition for secondary consumers.
primary consumers are herbivores and secondary consumers are carnivores so secondary consumers eat primary consumers
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
