How are primary consumers different from secondary consumers?
primary consumers are herbivores and secondary consumers are carnivores so secondary consumers eat primary consumers
Why are there more primary consumers than tertiary consumers?
Because the total energy associated with the primary consumers isn't stored in their bodies, so can't all be passed on to the secondary ones. The rest is used for their life processes, such as movement.
What are the three levels of consumers?
In the food web, three levels of consumers are primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores like grasshoppers. Secondary consumers are carnivores and consume primary consumers. An example of a secondary consumer that eats a grasshopper is a toad. Similarly, a snake, which is a tertiary consumer, will eat a secondary consumer like a toad.
In a specific ecosystem the population with the greatest number of members will be which one carnivores secondary consumers primary consumers or producers?
In this situation, the population with the greatest number will be the producers.
Are carnivores and consumers the same thing?
Carnivores are secondary consumers because herbivores are primary because they eat the plants that contain all the energy and carnivore doesn't eat plants but eats the herbivores. fx: plants is a food for deer and deer is a food for lions.
Are primary carnivores consumers?
No! Carnivores are secondary consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers.
What are three types of consumers in terms of primary secondary and?
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
Are Carnivores primary or secondary consumer?
Secondary consumers - primary consumers are the herbivores
Do primary consumers eat herbivores?
Primary consumers are both herbivores and carnivores. So yes, because carnivores eat herbivores.
How do you calculate the percentage biomass passed on from 1 from producers to primary consumers 2 from primary to secondary consumers 3 from secondary consumers to carnivores?
To calculate the percentage biomass passed on from producers to primary consumers, divide the biomass of primary consumers by the biomass of producers and multiply by 100. To calculate the percentage biomass passed on from primary to secondary consumers, divide the biomass of secondary consumers by the biomass of primary consumers and multiply by 100. To calculate the percentage biomass passed on from secondary consumers to carnivores, divide the biomass of carnivores by the biomass of secondary consumers and multiply by 100.
What types of consumers are wolves?
Wolves are alpha predators; they are primary consumers.

What are the secondary consumers in a food chain?
Carnivores (meat-eaters) and omnivores are secondary consumers because they eat primary consumers.
What are the components in an ecological pyramid?
The components in an ecological pyramid are producers (plants), primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and tertiary consumers (top predators). Each level represents the transfer of energy and biomass from one trophic level to the next in an ecosystem.
What feed on primary consumers?
Primary consumers are typically herbivores that feed on plants. They are then consumed by secondary consumers which are typically carnivores or omnivores, forming a food chain.
