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.

it is a tertiary consumer- producer is the plant/ algae, the primary consumer is the fish, the secondary the crab that eats the fish, the tertiary the seal that eats the crabs.
Primary consumers are organisms that feed directly on producers, such as plants or algae. They are herbivores that obtain their energy and nutrients by consuming autotrophs. Examples of primary consumers include rabbits, deer, and grasshoppers.
Primary consumer would be a cow that ate grass, secondary consumer would be the lion that ate the cow that ate the grass. Primary consumer is the fish that eats algae, secondary consumer is the barracuda that eats the fish that ate the algae. It expands to tertiary consumers as well, which would be the shark that ate the barracuda that ate the fish that ate the algae.
Yes, an organism that eats grass is considered a primary consumer because it directly consumes producers (plants) for energy. This primary consumer is typically an herbivore that feeds on grass as its primary food source in the food chain.
Yes.
The secondary consumer eats the primary consumer.

a shrub is a primary consumer
A primary consumer eats the producer, a secondary consumer eats the primary consumer. For example grass (producer) is eaten by rabbits (primary consumer) who are eaten by foxes (secondary consumer).

Primary consumers feed on producers (plants) and secondary consumers feed on primary consumers. For example, rabbits are primary consumers because they feed on vegetation. Foxes are secondary consumers because they feed on rabbits.
A primary consumer obtains its energy from producers (i.e. plants). Therefore a rabbit is a primary consumer because it eats grass and other plants. A secondary consumer eats primary consumers, therefore they do not get their energy directly from plants.The fox that eats the rabbit would be a secondary consumer.
In the the food chain, the secondary consumer eats the primary consumer and the tertiary consumer eats the secondaryconsumer.
A squirrel is a primary consumer, it eats vegitation.
It is a secondary consumer, it eats rodents and insects which are mostly primary consumers.
Secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers. Primary consumers eat primary producers. Primary producers are plants that photosynthesize sun light into chemical energy. A cow, for example, that eats grass (a primary producer) is considered to be a primary consumer. The wolf (or a human for that matter), who eats the cow (a primary consumer), is defined as the secondary consumer.
