Consumers When an animal eats a producer the animal, or consumer, takes in the energy stored in the producer and uses it for their own fuel. Animals that eat plants only are called herbivores. Herbivores
are the first level of consumer called a primary consumer.
Animals which eat only meat are called carnivores. Carnivores
are considered secondary consumers because they eat the primary consumer. This means that they are taking in the energy from the primary consumer which itself took in the energy from the producer.
Some animals eat both plants and animals these animals are called omnivores
. Humans are an example of an omnivore.
Animals which eat other animals are also called predators, while the animal that they eat is called prey.
Here we see a secondary consumer (the lion) feeding on a primary consumer (the zebra) which had earlier fed on a producer(grass).

Primary consumer would be a cow that ate grass, secondary consumer would be the lion that ate the cow that ate the grass. Primary consumer is the fish that eats algae, secondary consumer is the barracuda that eats the fish that ate the algae. It expands to tertiary consumers as well, which would be the shark that ate the barracuda that ate the fish that ate the algae.
A Highest order consumer is the top of the food chain. They are eaten by nothing and eat everything .
An organism that eats other organisms for energy are known as heterotrophs.
A third-level consumer is an animal which eats any animal in the second level category, the only animal that would eat the animal would be a fourth level consumer which is not normally found in a ecosystem. You place a certain level consumer on top of the animal it eats. like a mouse would be a first level consumer, since it eats grass which is a producer, then, the owl whcih eats the mouse would be a second level consumer since it eats that first level consumer, rat.
The secondary consumer eats the primary consumer.
Yes.

Eats the primary consumer
Secondary Consumer
In the the food chain, the secondary consumer eats the primary consumer and the tertiary consumer eats the secondaryconsumer.
A consumer is the one who eats others consumer.
secondary consumer because the grass hopper eats grass than the bird eats it the grass is the producer the grass hopper is the primary consumer then the bird is the secondary. the thing that eats the bird would be the tertiary consumer.
actually anything that eats is a consumer. you a homo sapien are a consumer because you eat. a frog eats crickets, its a consumer, a mouse its seeds it is a consumer and etc.
A sea gull is a secondary consumer. It eats fish which are the primary consumers.
