A primary consumer is an organism that consumes producers (typically plants) directly. It does not consume any other consumers.
Terms of the food chain:
producer-a living creature that makes food and energy by itself through a process called photosynthesis.
primary consumer - a consumer that gets energy from eating plants; typically a herbivore
secondary consumer - a consumer that gets energy from eating primary consumers; a carnivore
tertiary consumer - a high level consumer, which is usually the top predator in the ecosystem and/or food chain.
Producers are formally called autotrophs, while consumers are known as heterotrophs.

∙ 13y agotook me forever to find it in my Biology book...the primary consumer is the first consumer to eat the producers(usually herbivores), like the energy pyramid you know? producers-primary consumers-secondary consumers-tertiary consumers. one level eats the one below it. if the grass was a producer, bunnies would be the primary consumers, wolves would be the secondary consumer, and cougars would be the tertiary consumers
