i don't know it my friend kieare needs to know
A secondary consumer is any organism that consumes an organism that has consumed an autotroph. An autotroph is eaten by a primary consumer, which is eaten by a secondary consumer. Put more simply, a secondary (or any further level) consumer is a predator/ carnivore. A primary consumer would be an herbivore, and an autotroph (also known as primary producer) is any organism that creates it own energy (generally plants).
the producer (grass gets eaten by a consumer (deer)
producers are important in an ecosystem because it produces its own food by the needs of CO2 h2o and many others its eaten by a primary consumer and recieve the energy within the plant.
well yes. when the producer is eaten the thing eating it is a consumer. when it dies, it becomes a decomposer. it rots and rots until it is the soil of new producers. that is the cycle.
Plankton may be both producer (phytoplankton) and consumer (zoo plankton) but is not a decomposer (that is the job for bacteria). Phytoplankton is the producer, which is eaten by zooplankton, which is then eaten by other organisms in the ocean.
i think it is a primary consumer
the thing that is getting eaten

A live lion is a consumer. When it dies, its body sort of becomes a producer as it returns to the soil to provide nutrients to plants and bugs - or gets eaten by other consumers.
No, an apple is not a consumer. It would be a producer.
tertiary consumer
Some example of producers are plants and lichen (organisms that do not need to get their food, they make their own food) one example of consumers are bears (organisms that eat other organisms to get food) one example of decomposer are mushrooms (organisms that get their food by breaking down the nutrients in dead organisms or animal wastes
