Question

quiz question 7 of 10 which of these food chains is listed in the correct order? choose one option a primary consumers, secondary consumers, primary producers, decomposers b primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, decomposers c decomposers, secondary consumers, primary consumers, primary producers d primary consumers, primary producers, decomposers, secondary consumers

Explanation:

In a food chain, primary producers (like plants) make energy via photosynthesis. Primary consumers (herbivores) eat producers. Secondary consumers (carnivores/omnivores) eat primary consumers. Decomposers break down dead organisms, recycling nutrients. Option B follows this order: producers → primary consumers → secondary consumers → decomposers. Other options have incorrect sequences (e.g., A has producers after consumers, C/D reverse the flow).

Answer:

B. Primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, decomposers
