Question

5
la) Prepare a list of producers, primary, secondary and tertiary consumers
and decomposers based on the organisms supplied to you(cow,small fish,deer,grass,rabbit, grasshopper,lion,fungi, frog,carnivorous, fish, snake,bacteria,algae,eagle)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The organisms that consume the primary producers are herbivores: the primary consumers. Secondary consumers are usually carnivores that eat the primary consumers. Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat other carnivores.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is given below:

Explanation:

Producers are autotrophic organisms that are capable of producing complex organic compounds from simple inorganic substances.

Primary consumers are the heterotrophic organisms that are dependent directly on producers for their food.

Secondary consumers are the heterotrophic organisms that depend directly on the primary consumers or the producers for their food.

Tertiary consumers are the higher level of heterotrophic organisms or a carnivore at the topmost level in a food chain that feeds on another type of carnivores.

Decomposers are the microorganisms that break down the dead or decaying organisms, convert the inorganic substances into organic and return the nutrients back into the nutrient pool.

Therefore according to the given question:

Producers = Grass, algae

Primary consumers = Cow, deer, rabbit, grasshopper, frog, small fish

Secondary consumers = carnivorous, fish, snake

Tertiary consumers = lion, eagle

Decomposers = fungi, bacteria
