Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of energy flow in ecosystems, where energy moves from producers to various levels of consumers.
Identify producers as organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis, typically plants.
Recognize that primary consumers are herbivores that feed directly on producers (plants).
Analyze the given animals: a rabbit, hawk, snake, and mushroom. Determine which one feeds on plants.
Conclude that the rabbit is the herbivore (primary consumer) because it eats plants, while the hawk and snake are carnivores, and the mushroom is a decomposer.
