Explanation:

1. Deer eat plants. Plants are producers, and organisms that eat producers are primary consumers.
2. Snakes eat other animals. They are not top - predators in all ecosystems, but among the given options, they are not decomposers (which break down dead matter), autotrophs (which produce their own food like plants), or primary consumers (which eat plants).
3. Grass is a plant. Plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. Cellular respiration is used to break down glucose for energy after photosynthesis has occurred. Chemosynthesis is used by some bacteria in the absence of sunlight, and metabolism is a general term for all chemical processes in an organism.

Answer:

1. b. primary consumer
2. a. top predator
