Grazing animals such as deer are best classified as which of the following?
A
Producers
B
Primary consumers
C
Decomposers
D
Secondary consumers
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definitions of the terms provided: Producers are organisms that create their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis (e.g., plants). Primary consumers are organisms that eat producers (e.g., herbivores). Decomposers break down dead organic matter (e.g., fungi, bacteria). Secondary consumers eat primary consumers (e.g., carnivores).
Identify the diet of grazing animals such as deer. Deer primarily feed on plants, which are producers.
Classify deer based on their feeding behavior. Since deer consume producers, they are considered primary consumers.
Eliminate the other options: Deer are not producers because they do not create their own food. They are not decomposers because they do not break down dead organic matter. They are not secondary consumers because they do not eat primary consumers.
Conclude that grazing animals such as deer are best classified as primary consumers based on their feeding habits and ecological role.
