Primary Consumers / Herbivores: Primary consumers are animals that eat primary producers; they are also called herbivores (plant-eaters).
Secondary Consumers: Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. They are carnivores (meat-eaters) and omnivores
Tertiary Consumers: A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers.
Top Level Consumers:  Carnivores that eat other carnivores are called tertiary consumers.]]> 2019-04-03 15:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/garrettcb802/yh3i26bcqhob/wish/348139719 Decomposers are very small, often single-celled organisms.
