Question

The place of human being in food chains in an ecosystem is as

• A. Producer
• B. Consumer
• C. Decomposer
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is B Consumer

Humans are at the top of the food chain. They don't produce food for themselves. They consume the food produced by species lying lower in the food chain and convert them into energy in form of ATP by the process of respiration. They drive energy from both plants and animal and thus, called as omnivores. The energy flow for a particular trophic level is 10% to that of the previous trophic level.

So, the correct answer is option B.
