A PRIMARY CONSUMER (PRIMARY CONSUMER) is an organism that feeds on plants like a grasshopper. A SECONDARY CONSUMER is an organism that feeds on a first-order heterotroph.

A heterotroph is an organism that consumes other organisms in a food chain. Notes.
A heterotroph that feeds only on plants is called a herbivore. Herbivores are also known as first-order heterotrophs. Carnivores that feed on herbivores are called second-order heterotrophs. Carnivores that feed on other carnivores are called third-order heterotrophs.
Heterotrophs – “hetero” means __________
First order heterotrophs/main consumers are herbivores that eat plants. Second-order heterotrophs/secondary consumers are carnivores that eat herbivores. 3rd Order Heterotrophic/Tertiary Consumers are carnivores who eat carnivores.
Heterotrophic nutrition can be one of three types – holozoic, saprophytic, or parasitic.
A second-order heterotroph (SECONDARY CONSUMER) is an organism that feeds on a first-order heterotroph. A TERTIARY CONSUMER feeds on second order heterotrophs.
Heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy to survive, meaning they get their carbon from organic compounds. They can be divided into two main groups: (1) photoheterotrophs and (2) chemoheterotrophs. Basically, photoheterotrophs use light energy while chemheterotrophs don’t.
First-stage heterotroph is an organism that feeds on plants. A second-order heterotroph is an organism that feeds on a first-order heterotroph. A food chain represents only one possible pathway for the transfer of matter and energy through an ecosystem.
First-order heterotrophs in a deciduous forest ecosystem. Insects, chipmunks, rabbits, deer, tits.
Third level consumers are any organism large enough to obtain energy by feeding on lower level consumers. These are also referred to as tertiary consumers. For example, in a forest ecosystem, snakes eat toads. Herons and large fish such as perch and zander eat smaller fish, frogs and crayfish.
First level consumers, also called primary consumers, eat producers such as plants, algae and bacteria. Producers form the first trophic level. Herbivores, the consumers of the first level, occupy the second trophic level. First-level consumers do not eat other consumers, only plants or other producers.
Carnivores are divided into tiers; The first tier carnivores consist of crustaceans, small fish, jellyfish, and others that generally consume small herbivores. For the second level, the third level, and the best carnivores, each level consumes more energy than the previous one.
A heterotroph is a living organism that eats other organisms for energy. Heterotrophic organisms are ecosystem consumers because they cannot produce their own food. Examples of heterotrophic organisms are humans, dung beetles and hyenas.
There are three types of heterotrophic diet – saprophytic, parasitic, and holozoic.
