Question

In a food chain, herbivores are

• A. Primary producers
• B. Primary consumers
• C. Secondary consumers
• D. Decomposers

Answer 1

The correct option is B Primary consumers

The food chain is the sequence of organisms through which food and energy are passed in an ecosystem with the members of trophic level.

Producers trap solar energy and convert it to usable form as carbohydrates.

Herbivores are primary consumers, which depend on producers and primary carnivores are secondary consumers, which feed on herbivores.

Decomposers feed on dead organisms. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
