producers, primary consumers (eat producers), secondary consumers (eat primary) sometimes a top consumer,( like a human or something )
energy is lost in huge amounts as you go up the trophic levels, due to metabolism, heat loss, etc. so if you had a 5th level consumer, they would have to eat amazing amounts of food to be able to survive it's just not possible

FOOD CHAIN SHOULD NOT COMPRISE OF MORE THAN FIVE TROPIC LEVELS.THE ENERGY OBTAINED BY THE FOURTH TROPIC LEVEL WOULD BE NEGLIGIBLE AND INSUFFICIENT FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE NEXT GENERATION ORGANISM.ACCORDING TO 10%LAW ONLY 10% ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED FROM ONE TROPIC LEVEL TO THE NEXT .
