A herbivore is an animal that does not eat meat. Herbivores only eat plants.
Consumers are animals that eat producers. Producers are organisms that make their own food, like plants that make food during photosynthesis. A herbivore that eats producers (a herbivore consumer) would be an animal like a goat, cow, horse, sheep, etc.

Is this statement true or false All predators are secondary consumers while all prey are primary consumers Explain?
True. Any animal that eats a herbivore can be called a secondary consumer. The reason for this is because a herbivore consumes plants (producers), so the herbivore is known as a primary consumer. The secondary consumer would feed on the primary consumer, which is why it's called a secondary consumer, and the herbivore is called a primary consumer. So the order is - The plant is the producer, the herbivore (which eats plants) is the primary consumer, the animal that eats the herbivore (the primary consumer) is the secondary consumer, and the animal that eats the secondary consumer (the animal that eats the herbivore) is known as the tertiary consumer. If you want to go even farther, the animal that eats the tertiary consumer is known as the Quaternary consumer. An example would be a flower (the producer) that is fed upon by a grasshopper (the primary consumer). A rat or mouse (the secondary consumer) feeds on the grasshopper, and a snake (the tertiary consumer) feeds on the mouse/rat. Finally, a hawk (the quaternary consumer) feeds upon the snake. Thus completing the cycle. A secondary consumer can also be a primary consumer too (a herbivore), if it's able to feed on a herbivore as well as plants. Laura~ This is absoulotley true.
