how much energy does a shrimp receive from the sun and are they herbivores, omnivores, or a carnivore?
Shrimps are not photosynthetic organisms. Hence, they do not directly receive energy from the sun like plants or algae. Instead, shrimps obtain energy through their diet.
Regarding their diet, shrimps are predominantly carnivores, meaning they primarily feed on other organisms. They scavenge on decomposing matter, plankton, small aquatic invertebrates, and sometimes even larger organisms. However, some shrimp species may also exhibit omnivorous behavior, consuming both plant matter and other animals.
