5. The Marine Cycle
The Marine Cycle food
chain works in the
same way. Organisms
such as Phytoplankton
are eaten by
Zooplankton, that are
eaten by small fish,
that are eaten by bigger
fish, that are finally
consumed by
mammals like the
Killer Whale.

Carnivores, like these
lions and tigers, eat
only meat.
Omnivores, like
this bear, eat plants
and animals. Herbivores, like
this horse, eat only
plants. Their diet
does not consist of
meat.

7. Herbivores and Carnivores
Primary Consumers Secondary Consumers
Herbivores or also
called, Primary
Consumers, are
animals that eat only
plants.
Carnivores that eat
herbivores are called
Secondary
Consumers.
