Answer:
three-organism food chain that includes humans will have a producer, a primary consumer herbivore and the secondary human consumer.
Explanation:
Every food chain must start with a producer, or autotroph, an organism that makes its own energy through a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, energy from the sun is used to turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which can be broken down for energy. In this case, the grass is the producer at the bottom of the food chain.
Producers are eaten by primary consumers, organisms that eat producers, usually plants. The primary consumer in the above example is the grasshopper, because it is eating the producer. The mouse is considered a secondary consumer because it eats the primary consumer. The owl is a tertiary consumer because it eats the secondary consumer - the mouse in this case.
Food chains can sometimes be extended if there is another consumer that eats the tertiary consumer. This consumer is called a quaternary consumer, but is rare because available energy decreases as a food chain is extended. Thus, quaternary consumers get the least amount of energy from their food and have to consume more of it to survive.
So what happens to the owl? In this scenario, we would say that the owl sits at the top of the food chain and is an apex predator, a consumer that does not get hunted by other animals (predators). But we all know that no organism can live forever. When the owl dies, it will get consumed by scavengers, animals that feed off of dead organisms, or decomposers, organisms that break down materials from dead organisms and return the nutrients back to the soil.
