Question

Frog feeding on herbivorous insect is
A. Primary consumer
B. Secondary consumer
C. Tertiary consumer
D. Top carnivore

Answer 1

Hint: A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms and ending at apex predator species, detritivores, or decomposer species. Food chain, in ecology, means the sequence of transfers of matter and energy in the form of food from organism to organism. A food chain also shows how the organisms are related to each other by the food they eat. Each level of a food chain represents a different trophic level.

Complete step by step answer: A primary consumer is an organism that feeds on primary producers. The primary consumers are herbivores.
-The organisms that eat the primary consumers are meat eaters (carnivores) and are called secondary consumers.
-Herbivorous insects are primary consumers and the frog feeding on it is a secondary consumer.
-A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and
secondary consumers. Usually, tertiary consumers are carnivorous predators, although they may also be omnivores, which are animals that feed on both meat and plant material.
-Top carnivores are the carnivores occupying the top level of a food chain or a number pyramid.
So, the answer is B. Secondary consumer

Note: Sometimes carnivores are called predators. Organisms that carnivores hunt are called prey. Carnivores are a major part of the food-web, a description of which organisms eat which other
organisms in the wild. Food chains intertwine locally into a food web because most organisms consume more than one type of animal or plant.
