A secondary or tertiary consumer. Secondary - eats primary consumers (herbivores) and/or producers Tertiary - eats secondary and primary consumers (and possibly producers as well) Secondary and Tertiary consumers can be either carnivores or omnivores.
There are typically 3-4 trophic levels in a food chain, including producers, primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and sometimes tertiary consumers (top predators).
from top to bottom of the pyramid: tertiary consumers... and so on. secondary consumers (carnivores) primary consumers (herbivores) primary producers (like grass)
Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants directly. Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
1- Producers- make their own food (plants, photosynthetic bacteria, etc.) 2- Primary Consumers- eat the producers, small (rodents, bugs, etc.) 3- Secondary Consumers- eat the primary consumers (ex: snakes) 4- Tertiary Consumers- eat the secondary consumers, larger, (ex: owls, humans) There are not many trophic levels because only 10% of the energy available at one trophic level is passed on to the next level, and so the amount of energy available after many levels is not able to support many organisms.
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.

A secondary or tertiary consumer. Secondary - eats primary consumers (herbivores) and/or producers Tertiary - eats secondary and primary consumers (and possibly producers as well) Secondary and Tertiary consumers can be either carnivores or omnivores.
Yes. SUN Producers Primary Consumers Secondary Consumers Tertiary Consumers Decomposers
A rabbit is a primary consumer - it eats producers. Secondary consumers eat herbivores or omnivores and consumers that eat other carnivores are tertiary consumers.
A food web consists of several components; primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and so on.
There are typically 3-4 trophic levels in a food chain, including producers, primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and sometimes tertiary consumers (top predators).
In a food chain, there are four crucial members. There are the primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers and tertiary consumers. An example of a food chain can be found in a stream found in a forest. The primary producers would be plant like producers such as algae that produce food energy for the primary consumers which would be small microorganisms, or very small fish. The secondary consumers such as salmon will feed on these primary consumers for food. The tertiary consumers such as bears will feed on the secondary consumers for their food.
Level 1. The levels include producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.
It eats secondary consumers....Secondary consumers eat Primary consumers... Primary consumers eat producers... Prdoucers are plants.....
Lions are secondary consumers and feed mostly on primary consumers such as zebras.
