(iii) Primary consumer
(iv) Producer
​

Answer 1

Answer(C) PRIMARY CONSUMER

The rat is the primary consumer in the food chain. Rat is eaten by the snake which is the secondary consumer of the food chain or ecosystem.

Then the snake can be eaten by the eagle or any other birds that are the tertiary consumer of the food chain. The rat can be eaten by the eagle or tertiary consumer also. So the rat is the primary consumer of the food chain.

Hence the correct answer is C.

Answer 2

Answer:

(c) Primary Consumer

Explanation:

Food Chain

Food chain is a process in which one living organism depends on another organism for its survival and nutritional requirement. Through food chain, the energy and nutrients flow from one trophic level to another trophic level. It is a type of linear chain and begins with the producer organism and ends with the decomposer organism.

Rat in any food chain would occupy the position of the primary consumer.

Example: The rat is eaten by the snake which is a second consumer and then the snake can be eaten by the eagle which is the tertiary consumer. Maybe the rat can be eaten by the eagle directly. So, in both cases the rat is the primary consumer of the food chain.
