Question

this diagram shows a food chain from a grassland ecosystem in wyoming. the arrows show how the matter eaten by organisms moves through the food chain. select each organism below that is a top consumer in this food chain. wild oat white - tailed jackrabbit long - tailed weasel red fox coyote

Explanation:

A top consumer is an organism at the highest trophic level in a food chain with no natural predators. In this food chain, the coyote has no predators shown, and while the red fox could potentially be preyed upon (though not shown here, in a more complete ecosystem it might be), in the context of this simple food - chain presented, if we assume no further predators above it, it can also be considered a top - level consumer among the given options. Wild oat is a producer, white - tailed jackrabbit and long - tailed weasel are lower - level consumers.

Answer:

red fox, coyote
