The sun is not considered to be a primary consumer.
The sun is an energy source that is used by primary consumers.
An emu is a herbivorous consumer, feeding primarily on plants such as grasses, leaves, fruits, and seeds. They are considered primary consumers in the food chain.
A rat is considered a primary consumer because it mainly feeds on plants, seeds, fruits, and other primary producers. Secondary consumers typically prey on primary consumers, such as rats, making them part of the food chain as primary consumers.
it is a tertiary consumer- producer is the plant/ algae, the primary consumer is the fish, the secondary the crab that eats the fish, the tertiary the seal that eats the crabs.
Yes, an organism that eats grass is considered a primary consumer because it directly consumes producers (plants) for energy. This primary consumer is typically an herbivore that feeds on grass as its primary food source in the food chain.
A primary consumer receives about 10% of the original energy from the sun. This energy is captured by producers through photosynthesis and passed on through the food chain, with energy decreasing at each trophic level.
Secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers. Primary consumers eat primary producers. Primary producers are plants that photosynthesize sun light into chemical energy. A cow, for example, that eats grass (a primary producer) is considered to be a primary consumer. The wolf (or a human for that matter), who eats the cow (a primary consumer), is defined as the secondary consumer.

It applies to both, being an omnivore.

Not exactly: you are confusing the terms used in food chains and food webs. A cow's diet is considered herbivorous, whereas the cow itself is a primary consumer because it eats only plants. In other words, the cow herself is deemed a primary consumer, and her diet is herbivorous.
