Building Food Chains
2
Please write this:
Most food chains have more than one consumer. The consumers are described by how high up the food chain they are. This is shown in the diagram below.
The consumer that eats the producer is called the primary consumer. All herbivores are primary consumers.
Whatever eats the primary consumer is called the secondary consumer.
Whatever eats the secondary consumer is called the tertiary consumer.
If there is any animal that is large and dangerous enough to eat the tertiary consumer, it is called a quaternary consumer.
If an animal is at the top of a food chain and has no natural predators, it can also be called an apex predator.
