Primary consumers that eat only plants, also known as herbivores.Secondary consumers prey upon primary consumers and are often called carnivores.Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
The three trophic levels in a food chain are producers (plants), primary consumers (herbivores that eat plants), and secondary consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores).
Yes, they are consumers. Consumers are animals that can't make their own food.
The primary consumers are opossums, skunks, deer, rodents, fish, birds, and bears.
1- Producers- make their own food (plants, photosynthetic bacteria, etc.) 2- Primary Consumers- eat the producers, small (rodents, bugs, etc.) 3- Secondary Consumers- eat the primary consumers (ex: snakes) 4- Tertiary Consumers- eat the secondary consumers, larger, (ex: owls, humans) There are not many trophic levels because only 10% of the energy available at one trophic level is passed on to the next level, and so the amount of energy available after many levels is not able to support many organisms.
Primary,Secondary and Tertiary.

Chicken is a consumer. Producers are (basically) plants, whereas consumers are animals that eat plants or other animals (very simplified).
well they are primary , secondary and tertiary
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.
e.g. ORGANISM BIOMASS Grass 1000 Herbivores 300 Small Carnivores 28 Large Carnivores 6 1) from producer to primary = (300/1000)x100 2) from primary to secondary = (28/300)x100 3) from secondary to carnivores = (6/28)x100 Hope this helps :)
Omnivore is a secondary (2nd order) consumer. This is because primary consumer must only be plant eaters. Although omnivore consume plants, they also eat meat.Here is the order of the food chain (hope it helps):1) SUN (ultimate source of energy)2) PRODUCERS (plants - autotrophs: can make their own food using photosynthesis)3) PRIMARY/1ST ORDER CONSUMER (herbivours - only eat plants)4) SECONDARY/2ND ORDER CONSUMER(carnivours/omnivores)5) DECOMPOSERS (bacteria, worms, fungi etc breaks down dead organisms as food and return nutrients to soil)
