    Question

    In the food web diagram which two organisms are secondary consumers?

    1. Rabbit, snake 
    2. Hawk, grasshopper
    3. Lizard, snake
    4. Hawk, lizard

    Hint:

    In a food web or food chain, the organism which belongs to the third position is called the second-level consumer.

    The correct answer is: Lizard, snake

      • In the food web diagram, the two organisms which are secondary consumers are lizards and snakes.
      • Secondary consumers are the ones which occupy the third position in any given food chain or food web. They often consume primary consumers and are also known as second-level consumers. 
      •  In the given food web, the lizard consumes grasshopper which itself consumed grass. And therefore, the lizard occupying the second position is a secondary consumer. 
      • Similarly, the snake consumed rabbit which itself consumed grass. And therefore, the snake is in the third position and is also a secondary consumer. 

      A food web is a combination of various types of food chains that results from the relationship that exists between these organisms.
