Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of a food chain: In a food chain, energy flows from one organism to another. It starts with primary producers, which are typically plants that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.
Identify the role of primary consumers: Primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers. They are usually herbivores that feed on plants.
Recognize the role of secondary consumers: Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. They are typically carnivores or omnivores.
Define detritivores: Detritivores are organisms that feed on dead organic matter, breaking it down into simpler substances.
Apply the concept to the scenario: When you eat an apple, you are consuming a plant, which makes you a primary consumer, as you are directly consuming a primary producer.
