Question

The animation describes some of the food chains in the food web of Yellowstone National Park and discusses consumer levels. A wolf can be either a secondary consumer or a tertiary consumer, depending on which food chain you examine. Sort the organisms into the correct sequence to build a food chain featuring the wolf as the tertiary consumer, as depicted in the animation. (Not all items will be used. Place the tertiary consumer at the top and only use as many spaces beneath it as necessary.) Tertiary consumer

1. Wolf
2. Red Fox
3. Vole
4. Grass, willow, berries Producer

Answer 1

In a food chain featuring the wolf as a tertiary consumer, the wolf would be at the top followed by the red fox, the vole, and the producers.

The food chain goes from the top predator to the bottom producers.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Wolf (Tertiary consumer)
2. Red Fox (Secondary consumer)
3. Vole (Primary consumer)
4. Grass, willow, berries (Producers)

The food chain featuring the wolf as the tertiary consumer would start with the wolf as the top predator. Below the wolf would be the red fox, which is a secondary consumer that eats primary consumers like the vole.

At the bottom of the food chain are the producers, represented by grass, willow, and berries, which are consumed by the voles.
