Cheetahs are secondary or higher consumers. A primary consumer wold be an herbivore or an omnivore - it is an organism that consumes plants, which are the producers. A secondary consumer, like a cheetah, eats an organism that has eaten a producer.
Secondary consumers are organisms that consume primary consumers. Primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers, which are usually photosynthetic plants, protists, and bacteria. Primary consumers are always considered herbivores. Secondary consumers are usually carnivores, but they can also be omnivores. For example, while rats eat grain, they are secondary consumers, because they sometimes eat herbivorous insects. A frog can be a secondary consumer because it eats grass-eating crickets.
Secondary consumers eat herbivores, which are primary consumers. An example of this would be a lion that eats a zebra. The zebra is a herbivore and so the lion is a secondary consumer. Almost all carnivores are secondary consumers.
Carnivores are secondary consumers. Carnivore means that they are meat eating organisms.

Animals that eat other organisms are called carnivores, or sometimes secondary consumers.
No. There is NO SUCH THING as a "secondary" producer. There are only "producers" and these are ALL plants. All other organisms are CONSUMERS.
Consumers are heterotrophs and do not get their energy directly, but by eating organisms that do, or by eating other consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers, predators are secondary or higher. Detrivores consume the dead matter left by either producers, or consumers, or both.
Hydra are secondary consumers, primary consumers feed off of photosynthetic organisms. Hydra eat primary consumers like daphnia for example.
Primary consumers, which are plant-eating animals.
Primary consumers in the food chain are those animals that eat plants. They are, in turn, eaten by secondary consumers.
