(1) Producers: Organisms that can manufacture their own food are called producers. For example, green plants make their own food by photosynthesis.

(2) Consumers: Organisms that cannot prepare their own food but consume food pepared by green plants are consumers. They also obtain their food by eating other living or dead animals.

(b) Secondary Consumers or Carnivores. They eat primary consumers, e.g. snakes, frog, lizard.
