ok In an ecosystem there are many consumers. An ecologist
defines a consumer as a hetertroph. There are two diferent kinds
of consumers: primary consumers and secodary consumeers.
Consumers are also classified by the foods they eat. for
example, a primary consumer is a herbivore. They obtain nutrients
from primary producers such as grass. A grass eating antelope is
a herbivore. A secondary consumer is a carnivore or a omnivore.
a carnivore obtains its nutrients by eating other consumers.
Lions, eagles, cobras and preying mantises are all carnivores.
Omnivores obtain nutrients by eating both primary producers and
primary consumers. Grizzly bears eat meat and berries so they are
omnivores. There is one type of consumer left. The scavenger eats
organisms that have died recently.
