Question
which two of the following arrows show matter moving from a primary consumer to a decomposer? the arrow between the black bear and the parasol fungus the arrow between the pine vole and the parasol fungus the arrow between the beaver and the bobcat the arrow between the black racer and the bolete fungus the arrow between the gray fox and the bobcat
Step1: Identify primary consumers
Primary consumers eat producers. In this context, the swallowtail caterpillar (eats plants) and the pine vole (eats plants) are primary consumers.
Step2: Identify decomposers
Decomposers break down dead organic matter. Parasol fungus is a decomposer.
Step3: Check arrows
The arrow between the pine vole (primary consumer) and the parasol fungus (decomposer) shows matter moving from a primary consumer to a decomposer. Also, if the black bear is a primary consumer (assuming it eats plants in some cases relevant to this food web context) and the parasol fungus is a decomposer, the arrow between them also fits.
