Detailed explanation-1: -Omnivores are heterotrophs that consume both plants and animals. They include pigs, brown bears, gulls, crows, and humans. Omnivores actually fall on a continuum between herbivores and carnivores. Some omnivores eat more plants than animals, whereas other omnivores eat more animals than plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -Both primary (herbivores) and secondary (carnivores and omnivores) consumers are heterotrophs, while primary producers are autotrophs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Omnivores are animals that eat both plants (autotrophs) and animals (heterotrophs).
Detailed explanation-4: -The third level is occupied by carnivores (organisms that consume meat) and omnivores (organisms that eat both plants and meat). Primary consumers (herbivores) and secondary consumers (carnivores and omnivores) are both heterotrophs, whereas primary producers are autotrophs.
Detailed explanation-5: -Heterotrophs include herbivores that feed on plants, carnivores that feed on other animals, omnivores that feed on both plants and animals and decomposers that feed on dead and decaying matter. Autotrophs are the primary producers and are placed first in the food chain.
