Question

If a grass hopper is eaten by a frog, then the energy transfer will be from

• A. Producer to decomposer
• B. Producer to primary consumer
• C. Primary consumer to secondary consumer
• D. Secondary consumer to primary consumer

Answer 1

The correct option is C Primary consumer to secondary consumer

In the given food relation, the grasshopper is a primary consumer because it is dependent on the autotrophic producer, i.e., grass for its nutrition. The frog is a secondary consumer because it depends on another consumer (i.e., primary consumer). In an ecosystem, when one organism consumes another organism, there is a transfer of energy from the organism that is consumed to the organism that is consuming another organism

So, the correct answer is 'Primary consumer to secondary consumer'
