Full Question

Consider the food chain below:

Sun > Green Plants > Insects > Frogs > Snakes.

For the frog, please circle any of the below alphabetized words in this box that correctly describe this organism.

Note: You will have more than one word circled.

Autotroph Heterotroph

Primary Consumer

Producer Secondary Consumer

The circled words are

1. Heterotroph

2. Secondary Consumers

Explanation:

Autotrophs and Heterotrophs

Autotrophs are organisms that are able to prepare their own food own their own by utilizing energy from non-living sources such as the sun and carbon dioxide. They are often called the producers

Heterotroph, on the other hand cannot prepare their own food and depend on other organisms for their food. They are often called the consumers.

Based on this, we can conclude that the frog is heterotrophic because it can't prepare foods on its own; It obtains part of the energy stored by the insects by eating the insect.

Primary and Secondary consumers.

Primary consumers are organisms that feed directly on the primary producers.

In this food chain, the primary producer is the plant; the insect feed on them; hence, the insects are the primary consumers.

The secondary consumers on the other hand feed on the primary consumers; here, the insects are eaten by frogs. So, the frogs are the secondary consumers in this food chain.

where's the excerpt?   also i think the answer is the last one
