Consumers don't make there own food like producers do instead they find there food. There are 2 different kinds of consumers there are herbivores and there are also carnivores the carnivores eat meat while the herbivores eat plants and can be prey to the carnivores. Prey is an animal that can run away from the predator some people think that a plant can be prey but, it not run away from the predator. A predator is a carnivore that is just another way of saying it is one.
