Heterotroph

Select all the organisms that are producers.

Select all the organisms that are consumers.

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