In an ecosystem, plant-eating consumers, or herbivores, are primary consumers that feed on producers like plants and algae. These herbivores are then consumed by meat-eating consumers, or carnivores, which serve as secondary and tertiary consumers. This succession forms a food chain or web, illustrating the flow of energy and nutrients through different trophic levels. The balance between herbivores and carnivores is crucial for maintaining ecosystem stability and biodiversity.
