Baboons, sparrows, and human beings are considered both primary and higher order consumers because they all eat plants and meat.
Primary consumers feed on producers/ plants. Then secondary consumers feed on primary consumers.

This is because a primary consumer is an animal that eats plant matter (called a herbivore).

A secondary consumer is an animal that eats those herbivores but it may also consume plant matter.

That is why all 3 are considered both.

"susan is consuming 70 grams of protein per day on her 2,000-kilocalorie-per-day diet. what percent of susan's diet is protein?"

nirvana33 [79]

The answer to this question would be: 14%
Protein will give a calorie about 4kcal/gram. Then, the total calorie of protein from Susan meal would be: 70 grams * 4kcal/g= 280 kilo calorie.
To find the percentage you will need to divide the total calorie diet with the protein calorie. The calculation would be:

protein percentage= protein calorie/ total calorie
protein percentage= 280kcal / 2,000kcal = 14%
