A herbivore is an animal that only eats plants and does not consume meat. Deer, squirrels, chipmunks, cattle, and horses are all examples of herbivores.
At the bottom of any food chain is a producer and at the top is a consumer.
A herbivore refers to an organism that mainly eats plants or plant-based food, while a consumer is a more general term that refers to any organism that consumes food to obtain energy. Herbivores are a type of consumer that specifically eats plants.
It would be a herbivore (plant-eating consumer).
Antelope is a herbivore, meaning it primarily feeds on plants and vegetation. As a herbivore, antelope sits at a lower trophic level in the food chain compared to secondary consumers, which prey on herbivores.
True. Any animal that eats a herbivore can be called a secondary consumer. The reason for this is because a herbivore consumes plants (producers), so the herbivore is known as a primary consumer. The secondary consumer would feed on the primary consumer, which is why it's called a secondary consumer, and the herbivore is called a primary consumer. So the order is - The plant is the producer, the herbivore (which eats plants) is the primary consumer, the animal that eats the herbivore (the primary consumer) is the secondary consumer, and the animal that eats the secondary consumer (the animal that eats the herbivore) is known as the tertiary consumer. If you want to go even farther, the animal that eats the tertiary consumer is known as the Quaternary consumer. An example would be a flower (the producer) that is fed upon by a grasshopper (the primary consumer). A rat or mouse (the secondary consumer) feeds on the grasshopper, and a snake (the tertiary consumer) feeds on the mouse/rat. Finally, a hawk (the quaternary consumer) feeds upon the snake. Thus completing the cycle. A secondary consumer can also be a primary consumer too (a herbivore), if it's able to feed on a herbivore as well as plants. Laura~ This is absoulotley true. I was asking this question too, thanks again.
Probably not. Today consumer is usually used for people who buy things.

stupid a herbivore is a consumer and it is carnivore
herbivore. some are carnivore.
Yes. Herbivore does mean plant-consumer in Latin.
Secondary consumer
At the bottom of any food chain is a producer and at the top is a consumer.

No, it is a herbivore and therefore a primary consumer.
A squirrel is consumer. I am not sure if it is a herbivore though.
