(C) The primary consumers are called Autotrophs.
Plants are Autotrophs, which means they produce their own food.
They are Autotrophs, meaning that they make their own food.
The Autotrophs or the producers are at the first tropic level.
They are Autotrophs which means they can make their own food.
Plants are Autotrophs, meaning they are able to make their own food.
Unlike animals, plants are Autotrophs, meaning they create their own food source.
(i) The Autotrophs or the producers are at the first trophic level.
Autotrophs capture the energy present in sunlight and convert it into chemical energy.
This includes humans who must obtain food
from plants or animals that are Autotrophs.
Herbivores are the primary consumers of Autotrophs because they obtain food and nutrients directly from plants.
Heterotrophs are not able to produce their own food through photosynthesis and
therefore wholly depend on Autotrophs for food supply.
Humans, other animals, fungi,
and some microorganisms cannot make food in their own bodies like Autotrophs, but they still rely on photosynthesis.
