Consumers can't make their own food.
Autotroph
In the food chain, there are producers (make their own food), and comsumers (eat producers or other consumers) only autotrophs (mainly plants) can make their own food. Herbovores eat plants, primary carnovores eat herbavores, and secondary carnovores eat herbovores and primary carnovores.
Primary consumers eat autotrophs, or producers. Producers are mostly plants that make their own food using energy from the sun.
They are consumers because they do not make there own

In a food chain, there are four crucial members. There are the primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers and tertiary consumers. An example of a food chain can be found in a stream found in a forest. The primary producers would be plant like producers such as algae that produce food energy for the primary consumers which would be small microorganisms, or very small fish. The secondary consumers such as salmon will feed on these primary consumers for food. The tertiary consumers such as bears will feed on the secondary consumers for their food.
The food chain is the process by which sunlight energy is captured by plants (producers) which make food. Plants are then eaten by herbivores (primary consumers)n which are in turn eaten by carnivores (secondary consumers). Man is an animal and part of this food chain, if we destroy the food chain we will die.
After the sun in the food chain comes producers, which are organisms that can make their own food using sunlight through photosynthesis. These producers are then consumed by primary consumers (herbivores), which are in turn eaten by secondary consumers (carnivores/omnivores) and so on.

a producer produces its own food a consumer eats other animals or dead or decomposed animals, which means it can also be a decomposer a decomposer eats decomposed or dead animals
they each use plants for energy or use it to gain food or make food
We are consumers as we do not make our own food. We have to eat other animals (cows, pigs, chickens) or plants (corn, wheat, rye) for food. The cows, pigs and chickens are also consumers.

No. Producers always make up the first trophic level in a food web or chain.
A food chain runs off of different levels - each having one living organism in it, per food chain. The levels indicate a section where energy is used up by an organism - namely the one that attained the energy.
