Question

What will be the direction of energy flow if a grasshopper is eaten by a frog?

• 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

Grasshopper feeds on producers like the grass or plants. So, it occupies the level of a primary consumer. When frog eats a grasshopper it becomes the secondary consumer. So the energy transfer will be from primary consumer (grasshopper) to the secondary consumer (frog).
