Question

When frog eats grasshopper which thrives on green plant, the frog is

• A. Primary producer
• B. Herbivore
• C. Primary carnivore
• D. Top consumer

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Primary carnivore

Primary consumers are those, who feed directly on the producers (plants). In other words, herbivores are primary consumers.

Carnivores who feed on plant-eating animals (herbivores) are secondary consumers. For example, a grasshopper that feeds on plants is a primary consumer, and the frog that eats the grasshopper is a secondary consumer or

primary carnivore. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
