• A. producers are more than primary consumers
• B. secondary consumers are the largest and most powerful.
• C. both a and b
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A producers are more than primary consumers

Plants are called producers because they are able to use light energy from the sun to produce food (sugar) from carbon dioxide and water. Animals cannot make their own food so they must eat plants and/or other animals. They are called consumers. -

Primary consumers are animals that eat primary producers; they are also called herbivores (plant-eaters). Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. They are carnivores (meat-eaters) and omnivores (animals that eat both animals and plants).
