A primary consumer is an organism that consumes or eats plants or plant-based sources of food. These organisms are the first level of consumer in a food chain and include animals such as grazers, browsers, and carnivores. A secondary consumer is an organism that consumes or eats primary consumers. Secondary consumers can be carnivores or omnivores, but their diets consist of primary consumers.
