1st level consumers are any heterotrophs (animals that do not harvest food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis) that eat producers (plants, bacteria, things that make their own food). 2nd level consumers are carnivores or omnivores that eat 1st level consumers, and the 3rd eats 2nd, and so on and so forth.
Well a 3rd level consumer is a decomposer second is a carnivore first is a herbivore

∙ 13y agoTop consumers or first level, eat many trophic levels, while a second level carnivore will only eat at one trophic level. A trophic level is a ladder or an order of what eats what, kind of like a food chain.
Hope this helps,
P.S. I'm still a student

∙ 10y agothe first level consumer eats the producer and the second level consumer eats another consumer
A 1st degree consumer is a type of animal that eats crops, a 2nd degree consumer is a type of animal that eats the 1st degree consumers and a 3rd degree consumer is a type of animal that eats the 2nd degree consumer.
there are also decomposers that decompose the dead 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree consumers to restart the cycle over again.

∙ 14y agoWhen one is considering an eco system all organisms are divided into one of 5 category's.
producer, primary (first) consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer and in some ecosystems there is a forth level consumer.
producers are plants and any animal which obtains it energy from a source other than another animal. (eg.. deep water animals)
primary or first level consumers feed on the producers and get there energy from them.
secondary consumers obtain there energy from eating the primary consumers.
tertiary consumers obtain there energy from secondary consumers,
and forth level consumers obtain there energy from tertiary consumers.
but this always doesnt work as some animals eat both primary consumers and secodary, these organisms are placed with in these category on a case by case basis

∙ 13y agono because a 2nd level is some thing that ONLY can eat a 1st for example a zoo plankton for 1st 2nd would be like a auklet a 1st would have to be smaller than the first and HAS to be eating by a 2nd but may be 3rd could be eatin by a 2nd rarely matters if it would be a lepaord eatin by a lion if food was very little? So answer: pretty much would be no but may be 2nd eating 3rd YES.

∙ 12y ago~1st Level consumers are Herbivores (in case you want to know).
~2nd Level consumers are Carnivores and Omnivores.
~3rd Level consumers are Carnivores.

∙ 11y agoThat the First order consumer is a herbivore which only eats plants but a carnivore eats meat and that is the second consumer
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoA first level consumer eats only plants. Second level consumers eat first level consumers. The answer is no by the very definition.

What animal would be at the 2nd trophic level?
The group of organisms that occupy the second trophic level of an ecosystem is the herbivores. The herbivores eat the plants in the first trophic level and are then called primary consumers. -Gallo :)
What is the name of a third level comsumer?
A third-level consumer is an animal which eats any animal in the second level category, the only animal that would eat the animal would be a fourth level consumer which is not normally found in a ecosystem. You place a certain level consumer on top of the animal it eats. like a mouse would be a first level consumer, since it eats grass which is a producer, then, the owl whcih eats the mouse would be a second level consumer since it eats that first level consumer, rat.
What do you call a consumer who eats primary consumers?
In the food chain, another name for a secondary consumer can be a second order consumer or second-level consumer. Secondary consumers are typically carnivores that eat first consumers. First consumers are herbivores.
First level consumers are called what while second and third level consumers are called what?
First level consumers are called herbivores, second level are called carnivores, and omnivores can eat meat or plants so omnivores can be either first level, second level, or third level.
What level of consumer are you if you eat rice?
consumer 1
What is a first level consumer that eats a mouse?
No first level consumer will eat a mouse because first level consumers don't eat meat. A second level consumer (a carnivore or omnivore) would eat a mouse.
What is the meaning of first consumer?
Well its a Consumer that eats the Producers I guess. Also the Second-level consumers eat the First-level consumers and the Producers The Third-level consumers eat the Second-level consumers,First-level consumers and the Producers which is the Decomposers the plants and the Sun
How does the sparrow get energy from the first level consumer?
What the second lever consumer eats the first lever consumer, it gets only a little bit of its energy. Say that the first lever consumer has 100 percent of energy, the second lever consumer will come along and eat it then only get 10% of the first level consumer. I don't know if that made any since, but I hope it did(:
What do second-level consumer eat?
It only fish
What is an example of a second level consumer?
First of all, a second level consumer is a living thing that eats things that eat producers (plants, etc.). So, if a producer is grass, say, then the consumer would be sheep. Then, wolves eat sheep (or so they say). A wolf would then be a second level consumer because it eats thing that eat producers. Another example would be carnivorous fish. Mosquito fish eat duckweed, and bigger, carnivorous fish eat the mosquito fish. The big, carnivorous fish would be the second level consumer. A snake could be a second level consumer because it is a carnivore eating a herbivore. Herbivores are first level consumers. Cats, dogs, and humans can also be second level consumers.

Is a coyote a first level and sometimes second level consumer?
Yes it is, because it eats both plants and animals.
What do you call a consumer who eats primary consumers?
In the food chain, another name for a secondary consumer can be a second order consumer or second-level consumer. Secondary consumers are typically carnivores that eat first consumers. First consumers are herbivores.
