Consumers that eat producers are called Primary Consumers Consumers that eat Primary Consumers are called Secondary Consumers Consumers that eat Secondary Consumers are called Tertiary Consumers
Many consumers are herbivores. For example: a horse eats plants, which are producers, therefore horses are consumers.Examples of consumers that are herbivores:HorsesCowsDeerOxenSheepRabbitsElephantsHope this helped.
Yes.
Herbivores form the primary consumers in a food chain.
In the food web, three levels of consumers are primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores like grasshoppers. Secondary consumers are carnivores and consume primary consumers. An example of a secondary consumer that eats a grasshopper is a toad. Similarly, a snake, which is a tertiary consumer, will eat a secondary consumer like a toad.
As they are herbivores, mice are primary consumers. Primary consumers eat producers of energy (like plants), while secondary consumers eat other consumers.
A rabbit is a primary consumer - it eats producers. Secondary consumers eat herbivores or omnivores and consumers that eat other carnivores are tertiary consumers.
Primary consumers feed on producers (plants) and secondary consumers feed on primary consumers. For example, rabbits are primary consumers because they feed on vegetation. Foxes are secondary consumers because they feed on rabbits.
Yes, a maple tree produces its own food and there for is a primary consumer, anything that eats the maple tree would be a secondary consumer.
A consumer who eats primary consumers is known as a secondary consumer. This means they are one step higher in the food chain and rely on consuming animals that feed on primary producers. Some examples of secondary consumers include carnivores like wolves and hawks.

Herbivores are consumers. Snakes are consumers, but not herbivores.
A mouse would be considered a secondary consumer because it eats primary consumers (such as insects or seeds). In a food chain, it would come after the primary consumers but before the tertiary consumers.
Primary consumers in an ecosystem are the animals that eat and get their energy from producers (plants/vegetation etc.) for example: Cabbage (Producer) ----> Caterpillar (primary consumer). Primary consumers are mainly classed as herbivores. A secondary consumer would be something that then eats the primary consumer.
Yes.
Plants are producers, herbivores are primary consumers, and carnivores are secondary consumers, or higher if they eat other carnivores. For example, a carnivore that eats secondary consumer carnivores is a tertiary consumer.
Herbivores form the primary consumers in a food chain.
A meat-eater that eats primary consumers is a secondary consumer. Then goes the tertiary consumer, quartenary consumer, etc. It only goes up to 5 though, because the energy from the sun is so low after the 5th one.
