What else can I help you with?
Why can some organisms be primary or secondary consumers when they are in different food chains?
Well if you think about it this way (follow the OWL): a grasshopper eats grass and and a frog eats the grasshopper and the OWL eats the frog; in this situation the OWL is the tertiary consumer. In a different situation (follow the OWL): a mouse eats grass and an OWL eats the mouse; here, the OWL is the secondary consumer. You see, it all depends on the situation. Hope that helps :)
