Question

The fox and cooper’s hawk would be ___________________ consumers and considered ______________ predators in this food web.

Answer 1

The correct answers are "tertiary; top".

Step-by-step explanation:

Tertiary consumers are animals that eat other animals that are carnivorous as well. This is the case of the fox and the cooper's hawk. Foxes are omnivore animals that eat other animals like mice, which eat insects that eat plants sequentially. Cooper's hawks are also tertiary consumers, since they eat animals that are secondary consumers like frogs. This characteristic of both the fox and copper's hawk make them top predators in food webs.
