Question

Grass $\to$ Goat $\to$ Man $\to$
In above food chain man is:

• A. Top consumer
• B. Secondary consumer
• C. Primary consumer
• D. Producer

Answer 1

The correct option is B Secondary consumer

A trophic level is a group of organisms within an ecosystem which occupy the same level in a food chain. Primary producers are usually plants and algae, which perform photosynthesis in order to manufacture their own food source. Primary producers make up the first trophic level. The second trophic level consists of herbivores. Trophic levels three, four, and five consist of carnivores and omnivores. Trophic level three consists of carnivores and omnivores (Example: Man) which eat herbivores; these are the secondary consumers.

So, the correct answer is 'Secondary consumer'.
