The short answer is: other animals.

The short answer isn't likely to be sufficient for a Biology test though. It's best to understand what kinds of consumers exist, and how they interact with producers.

The food chain (or energy chain):

PRODUCERS. These organisms receive their energy directly from the sun. Plants are the most common producers.

CONSUMERS. These organisms receive their energy by eating other organisms. Their bodies then convert their food into energy.

- PRIMARY CONSUMERS or HERBIVORES. These organisms eat producers.

- SECONDARY CONSUMERS or CARNIVORES. These organisms eat primary consumers.

- TERITIARY CONSUMERS. These are also carnivores. More specifically, they are carnivores who eat secondary consumers.

Example:

Producer = plant

Primary consumer = insect (eats plant)

Secondary consumer = small bird (eats insect)

Tertiary consumer = large bird of prey (eats small bird)
