Question
determine how primary consumers get the energy needed for survival. green plants sunlight predators secondary consumers
Primary consumers are herbivores. They obtain energy by consuming green plants (producers). Producers use sunlight to perform photosynthesis and convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in organic compounds. Primary consumers then eat these plants to get that energy. Predators are at higher trophic levels and eat other consumers. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. So the source of energy for primary consumers is green plants.
