Question

identify each type of organism as either a primary producer or a consumer. tiger grass bacteria that perform chemosynthesis shark human drag & drop the answer producer consumer

Explanation:

• Tiger: Tigers are carnivores. They obtain energy by consuming other animals. So, they are consumers.
• Grass: Grass is a plant. Plants use sunlight (in most cases, here we assume normal grass which does photosynthesis, though the problem also has chemosynthetic bacteria. But grass is a primary producer as it can make its own food through photosynthesis) to produce food (glucose) from carbon - dioxide and water. So, it is a primary producer.
• Bacteria that perform chemosynthesis: These bacteria use chemical energy (e.g., from hydrogen sulfide in some environments) to produce organic compounds. They are primary producers as they create their own food from inorganic substances.
• Shark: Sharks are carnivores. They eat other marine organisms (like fish, seals etc.) to get energy. So, they are consumers.
• Human: Humans are heterotrophs. They eat plants (herbivorous diet in some cases) or animals (carnivorous or omnivorous diet) to obtain energy. So, they are consumers.

Answer:

Tiger: Consumer
Grass: Producer
Bacteria that perform chemosynthesis: Producer
Shark: Consumer
Human: Consumer
