Primary Consumers, also known as Herbivores, are named as such because they eat apostrophes such as plants and algae. Apostrophes store the energy of the sun and Primary Consumers (primary meaning first) are the first to extract this energy from the apostrophes. Primary Consumers are complex organisms that can only be eaten by other organisms; such organisms are called Carnivores.
