Question

A rat feeding upon potato tuber is ________.

• A. Producer
• B. Carnivore
• C. Decomposer
• D. Primary consumer

Answer 1

The correct option is D Primary consumer

• Rat is a herbivore animal, who used to eat plant products (primary consumer).
• The potato plant is a producer that traps solar energy and produces food (carbohydrates), which are stored in potato tubers.
• The rat cannot produce their own food by the use of solar energy and hence, feeds on potato tuber for his life processes.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
