Answer:

There isn't a food web.

Step-by-step explanation:

This might help:

If an animal/organism doesn't make its own food, and hunts or eats plants, then it is a consumer.

Example:

Which of the following is a consumer?

A: A plant

B: A tiger

C: A rabbit

D: Both B and C

The answer is D. Plants aren't consumers because they make their own food using the process of photosynthesis (the process by which plants use sunlight, water, minerals, and carbon dioxide to make food).

When the process of photosynthesis happens, plants make glucose, which is their food.

Animals eat "ready made" food, so they are consumers.

Answer:

Primary consumers are usually herbivores, plant-eaters, though they may be algae eaters or bacteria eaters. The organisms that eat the primary consumers are called secondary consumers. Secondary consumers are generally meat-eaters—carnivores. The organisms that eat the secondary consumers are called tertiary consumers.
