Question

In an ecosystem, those carnivores which generally do not get preyed upon by predators are known as “top carnivores”.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Carnivores include both secondary and tertiary consumers. Secondary consumers are those which feed on the primary consumers (herbivores), while tertiary consumers directly prey upon secondary consumers, and generally do not have predators that feed on them. This gives them the name “top carnivores”.
