Best Answer

Cheetahs are secondary or higher consumers. A primary consumer wold be an herbivore or an omnivore - it is an organism that consumes plants, which are the producers. A secondary consumer, like a cheetah, eats an organism that has eaten a producer.

Producers are autotrophs, organisms that don't get food from other organisms, but make it themselves (for example, through photosynthesis). Example: grass.

Primary consumers are organisms that consume producers. Cows, for example, are primary consumers (they're vegetarian and eat grass).

Secondary consumers are organisms that consume primary consumers. Tigers consume animals such as cows, not grass, so they are secondary consumers.
