∙ 15y agoWell, you start out with the producers, like plants that produce their own food through photosynthesis. This is also called an autotroph.
Then you have the primary consumer. I would guess you could call this a 1st order consumer...but that would be an animal that consumes the producers, like an insect that eats plants.
Next is the secondary consumer, or the 2nd order consumer, I guess...and that eats the insect, that consumed the plants. A fish could then be a secondary consumer.
Finally is that tertiary consumer, which would be the person or the bear who eats the fish, who ate the insect, which ate the plant.

∙ 13y agoA secondary consumer eats other consumers. Therefor, "secondary consumer" is a synonym of "carnivore." However, to be a secondary consumer, it must only eat organisms that eat producers. For example, a shark that eats fish which eat other fish would be a third consumer, but a lion, which only eats herbivores, is a secondary consumer.
