Fast animal
Animal in the third trophic level
Herbivorous animal
Predator
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: Predator.
A secondary consumer is an organism that eats primary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores, which means they eat plants. Predators are animals that eat other animals. So, secondary consumers are eaten by predators.
Here is a brief explanation of each option:
- Fast animal. This is not always the case. Some predators are slow, while some secondary consumers are fast. For example, a snail is a slow secondary consumer, while a cheetah is a fast predator.
- Animal in the third trophic level. This is not always the case. Some predators are in the second trophic level, while some secondary consumers are in the third trophic level. For example, a lion is a predator in the second trophic level, while a grasshopper is a secondary consumer in the third trophic level.
- Herbivorous animal. This is not always the case. Some secondary consumers are herbivores, while some are carnivores. For example, a deer is a herbivore, while a spider is a carnivore.
- Predator. This is the correct answer. Predators are animals that eat other animals. Secondary consumers are eaten by predators.
