The diagram below shows a food web in a woodland. A food web diagram showing cornstalks with two arrows pointing away from it. One of the arrows points to the letter X and the other arrow points to a grasshopper. There are two arrows pointing away from the grasshopper. One is pointing to a baby sparrow and the other to the letter Y. There is an arrow pointing away from the baby sparrow to a snake and an arrow pointing away from the letter X to the snake.

If a certain organism is a secondary consumer, what best explains its position in the food web? (3 points)

a
X, because organism X feeds on producers

b
Y, because organism Y feeds on producers

c
X, because organism X feeds on a carnivore

d
Y, because organism Y feeds on a herbivore

Explanation:

Options A and B have wrong reasons because to feed on producers means that it is a primary consumer.

Option C is wrong because organism X only feeds on cornstalks.

Organism Y does feed on the grasshopper, which feeds on the cornstalks. It is a secondary consumer.

Hence Option D is correct.

hey there!

boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals atmospheric pressure. the vapor pressure of solvent molecules is decreased when a solute is added, so a higher temperature is required to increase the number of solvent molecules in the gas phase above the liquid.

at the freezing point, the vapor pressures of the solid and liquid are equal; a lower temperature is needed to reduce the number of solvent particles above the liquid.

hope this you
