This food feeds herbivores, called primary consumers. Carnivores that feed on herbivores are called secondary consumers. Carnivores that feed on other carnivores are tertiary (or higher) consumers. Such a path of food consumption is called a food chain. Each level of consumption in a food chain is called a trophic level.
Food chains and food webs are charts that explain the layers of organisms within an ecosystem and which organism eats the others. These layers are labeled with names such as primary producers and secondary producers. Algae is a simple form of life that often appears in the lowest levels of a food chain because it is consumed by different animals.
