Explanation: 

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. The secondary consumers tend to be larger and fewer in number. This continues on, all the way up to the top of the food chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Primary consumers vary with the type of an ecosystem. For example, in a forest ecosystem, deer or giraffe is a primary consumer whereas in a grassland ecosystem, cow or goat is a primary consumer. SECONDARY CONSUMERS: These are carnivores and feed on primary consumers and producers. For example, dogs, cats, birds etc.

Finally, the material is passed to the small and large intestines, where true digestion i.e. Here are some examples. They eat primary producers-plants or algae-and nothing else.

Detailed explanation-5: -Primary consumers are always herbivores, or organisms that only eat autotrophic plants. However, secondary consumers can either be carnivores or omnivores. Carnivores only eat other animals, and omnivores eat both plant and animal matter.
