Detailed explanation-1: -The primary consumers are herbivores (vegetarians). The organisms that eat the primary consumers are meat eaters (carnivores) and are called the secondary consumers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary consumers are largely carnivores that feed on the primary consumers or herbivores. They are heterotrophs, specifically carnivores and omnivores. Carnivores only eat other animals. Omnivores eat a combination of plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -The organisms that eat the primary consumers are called secondary consumers. Secondary consumers are generally meat-eaters (carnivores). The organisms that eat the secondary consumers are called tertiary consumers. These are carnivore-eating carnivores, like eagles or big fish.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ans: Meat eaters are the most common secondary consumers (carnivores). Tertiary consumers are organisms that eat secondary consumers. These are carnivorous carnivores, such as eagles or large fish. There are additional tiers in some food chains, such as quaternary consumers (carnivores that eat tertiary consumers).
