Heterotroph

Select all the organisms that are producers.

Select all the organisms that are consumers.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Detritivore		Only eat producers
Primary Producer		Only eat other consumers
Primary Consumer		Eat both producers & consumers
Secondary Consumer		Eat bits of dead matter
Herbivore		a step in an ecological pyramid
Trophic Level		an organism that makes its own energy
3rd Level Consumer		typically a herbivore, that eats primary producers & is in the second trophic level
Omnivore		typically a carnivore or omnivore, that eats primary consumers
Carnivore		primarily feeds on secondary consumers & occupies the highest trophic level
