Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of a herbivore in an ecosystem. Herbivores are animals that feed on plants.
In a food chain, producers are typically plants or algae that produce energy through photosynthesis.
Herbivores consume these producers, making them the next level in the food chain.
Identify the trophic level of herbivores. Since they directly consume producers, they are classified as primary consumers.
Differentiate between primary consumers and other categories: Secondary consumers eat primary consumers, decomposers break down dead material, and producers generate energy through photosynthesis.
