Which of the following is an example of primary consumers?
- A. Algae
- B. Grass
- C. Fungi that gain energy from detritus
- D. Deer eating grass
Correct Answer: D. Deer eating grass
Explanation
A primary consumer is any animal that consumes primary producers (autotrophs). Autotrophs consist of any creatures that create their own energy (in the form of sugars) from sunlight. Grass and algae would be considered autotrophs. Deer are the only animals shown here that consume autotrophs and are, therefore, primary consumers.
