Solution
Primary consumers:
The light energy from the sun is directly utilised by some organisms and other organisms depend on these organisms for their energy requirement.
For instance, all the
autotrophic
organisms, also known as
producers
utilise sunlight to produce their food in the form of
glucose
.
These organisms store this food in the form of
starch
.
These plants are eaten by
primary consumers
to meet their energy requirements.
Primary consumers are also known as
herbivores
because they feed upon plants.
Examples of primary consumers are
deer
and
cow.
