In a food chain, lion         is a :

A)  producer

B)  primary consumer

C)  secondary consumer

D)  tertiary consumer

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

                 Food chain is the sequence of population or organism through which food and its contained energy pass in an ecosystem. Producers are autotrops that manufacture organic compounds from inorganic raw materials with the help of solar light e.g., Green plants. Consumers are heterotrophs, which feed on other organism. A food Chain : Producers            Primary consumer(Autotrophs (Herbivores e.g., Goat cow) like green plants) Tertiary consumer  Secondary consumer (Secondary carnivores (Primary carivores like frog) like lion) So, in a food chain, lion is a tertiary consumer or top carnivore.
