Detailed explanation-1: -Primary consumers are herbivores. Herbivores eat plants, algae, and other producers. They are at the second trophic level.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first trophic level contains the greatest number of organisms and is comprised mainly of plants. The organisms in this layer are called primary producers because they get their energy from an abiotic source. Most primary producers get their energy directly from the sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first and lowest level contains the producers, green plants. The plants or their products are consumed by the second-level organisms-the herbivores, or plant eaters. At the third level, primary carnivores, or meat eaters, eat the herbivores; and at the fourth level, secondary carnivores eat the primary carnivores.
Detailed explanation-4: -Generally in the food chain of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem the largest population is that of producers. The number of organisms in each trophic level of a food chain depend upon the avialability of food and energy. As producers form the base of the energy pyramid, they are generally the largest population.
