What is the synonym for energy pyramid?
Another name for energy pyramid is ecological pyramid. It is very similar to the food chain. An energy pyramid has producers (green plants) at the bottom and three different types of consumers one above the other namely primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary:primary consumers are herbivores that feed directly on the producers or the green plants. Secondary:These consumers feed on the herbivores. Tertiary:These are consumers that feed on other carnivores and are on top of the energy pyramid. This means they are the last entity in the food chain. Eg: Producers-Grass Primary-Rabbit Secondary-Snake Tertiary-Eagle
Consumers that eat plants?
There are basically three levels of consumers: primary, secondary and top level consumer. Primary consumers include organisms which feed on the producers, that is to say, green plants. Herbivores are included under this category. Secondary consumers include those organisms which feed on primary consumers. They indirectly derive nutrition from the producers. Top level consumers are those which feed on either primary or secondary consumers or both. consider a food chain like this: plant -> rat -> snake -> predatory bird in this food chain, the first level consumer is rat(herbivore) while snake is second level(carnivore) and finally a predatory bird which feeds on both rat and snake, which makes it a top level consumer.

What feed directly on producers?
Primary producers feed directly on autotrophs (plants). These are mainly herbivores like cow & deer
