In a food chain a consumer, also known as a heterotroph is an organism that must feed on other organisms to obtain energy and nutrients. They include animals, fungi, and many types of bacteria and protists. Consumers can be divided into herbivores, predators, and parasites.

In the the food chain, the secondary consumer eats the primary consumer and the tertiary consumer eats the secondaryconsumer.
The consumer is always at the top, or end of the food chain. Producers are at the bottom, or beginning of the food chain.
the food chain is made up of producer,primary consumer,secondary consumer and tertiary consumer
The role that the consumer in a food chain plays is to take that energy away from that animal by eating it.
Cows are at the bottom of the food-chain, since they are herbivores, not carnivores. In contrast, humans would be at the top.

A consumer that follows a producer in a food chain is known as a primary consumer or herbivore. These organisms feed directly on producers (plants) for energy and nutrients, forming the second trophic level in the food chain. Examples include rabbits, deer, and cows.
After the producer in the food chain comes the primary consumer, which is usually an herbivore that feeds directly on the producer.
