If you mean are they the top predators, then No (as they can be scavengers).

∙ 12y agoOrganisms such as humans are usually classified as
secondary consumers, carnivores, 2nd order heterotrophs.
However most humans are omnivores, meaning they can eat both meat and plants and may act as 1st(primary consumer), 2nd(secondary consumer), or 3rd(tertiary) level heterotrophs.
What do the organisms in each trophic level eat?
They all eat the organisms in the level below them, except for the producers which make their own food.

∙ 15y agowe're not just primary consumers, we're also secondary, tertiary etc. primary consumers means we eat the producer (usually green plants) secondary means we eat the small organism that eats the plant, and tertiary, we eat the animal that eats the small organism that eats the plant.

∙ 11y agoHumans are third-order consumers
for example:
Grass à dragonfly à trout à human
in the diagram it shows that humans are third-oder consumers.

∙ 13y agoHumans eating meat are secondary (or rarely, tertiary) consumers. Humans eating plants are primary consumers. Most humans do a bit of both.

∙ 14y agoyes as they feed on primary consumers i.e. herbivorous but many secondary consumers are omnivorous i.e. they can eat both herbs or plants and also on herbivorous like human beings

Are lions harmful to humans?
YES.They are third level consumers and eat meat,and as humans we are technically meat,therefore food to a lion,thus making us vulnerable to them.Hence,they are harmful to humans unless handled properly.
Are humans tertiary consumers?
yes we are
Are humans detritivores?
Humans are not decomposers. They are consumers.
Are humans consumers or producers?
Humans are consumers because the food that we make is actually produced by other organisms. Humans consume both producers and a few consumers. When we grow crops like corn, we aren't producing corn cobs, the corn crops are.Only females are producers,since they produce milk for their young. written by Rafael
What type of consumer is a pig?
No, pigs are not secondary consumers. They are considered primary consumers because they eat the plants and they are used by humans for food.
What are third order consumers called?
Third level consumers are consumers that feed on second level consumers. A hawk eating a rattlesnake would be an example of a third level consumer. In a forest ecosystem, snakes are third level consumers. Herons and large fish are also third level consumers.
Third level consumers?
A 4th order cosumer is the consumer that feeds of third level consumers (kindof a no-brainer answer). 3rd order consumers feed of 2nd order cosumers and 2nd order consumers feed off 1st order consumers and 1st order consumers feed off producers like grass or bushes; plants that make their own energy from the sun... hope this answer is good enough.
Are humans both first order and fourth order consumers?
true
Are omnivores primary consumers or secondary consumers?
A human being is a Third level consumer. A human can eat a second and first level consumer as well. Actually, humans can be both.
What are some third order consumers?
eats the trird order consumer
What are 3 terms to describe organisms such as humans?
third consumers, carnivores, 2nd heterotroph
What are 3 terms used describe organism such as humans?
third consumers, carnivores, 2nd heterotroph
What is the ratio of third order consumers to producers?
It depends on the environment that you are planning on deriving this data from. But normally there will always be at least three times the amount of producers vs. third order consumers to support enough energy throughout the trophic levels.
What are consumers that surrounds engulf and ingest their food?
A producer may mean an organism that produces its own energy. This means a plant, as they produce energy in the form of sugars from water, CO2 and UV light. A consumer that only eats plants would be a herbivore (an animal that only eats plants), or a fungi that only digests rotting plants.
Although this order is seldom seen by humans it is the third largest order of mammals what is it?
Insectivora
How does photosynthesis affect crocodiles?
Photosynthesis provides food for the producers, which are then eaten by first-order consumers, which may be eaten by second-order consumers, and so on, which are then eaten by crocodiles, which are probably the highest-order consumer in the food web, unless humans are involved. Without photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy in food molecules, there would be no producers or consumers, and no crocodiles (or humans).
What are three terms used to describe organisms such humans?
2nd Order Hetrotroph, Carnivors, secondary Consumers
