Question

Food Chains on the Isle of Dell

On the Isle of Dell, a large island with a variety of habitats and plant/animal species, the food chain has been left undisturbed by human development.  In the subtropical forests of the inland region, the elephants and rhinos forage on the native low shrubs. Inland water ways contain large schools of great goldfish which thrive on the indigo waterweed.   Nearer the coastal areas, donkeys, camels, and hippos consume the lush, green verdigrass. In the plains of the south, bison, horses, and cows rely on the tall, plains bushtail grasses as a staple of their diets.  The goats of the highlands graze over large areas in search of the dry goatweed.

The large wild cats of the islan, blend in with the bushtail grass, allowing them to stalk and prey upon the bison and cows.  Tigers on the island use their strength and speed to hunt down camels and donkeys along the coast.  In the highlands, lions use the rough terrain as cover to hunt the highly dispersed goat herds.  When goats are more difficult to find, lions do head to the coast and hunt camels and donkeys.  Bears living inland, traversing between both forests and plains, may actively hunt small, weak elephant, rhino, and cows, but mostly rely on the great goldfish and plains bushtail grass for their diets.

Based on the information above, fill out the two columns of the table below.

Answer 1

Answer:Here is the answer below for the above question.

organism	Consumer (or)producer.	Herbivore,carnivore,omnivore,Autotrophs.
Bear	It is a primary and secondary consumer since it eats both grass and small elephant,rhino,cows,great gold fish.	It is a Omnivore since it eats both plant material(grass) and animal origin(ex:cowsetc.,)
Bison	This is primary consumer.It eats plain bush tail grasses which is a producer.	It is a Herbivore since it eats only plant origin material i.e grass.
Camel	It is a primary consumer.	It is a Herbivore,since it eats lush,green verdigrass.
Cat	It is a secondary consumer which eats bison and cows.	It is a carnivore since it eats bison and cows.
Cow	It is a primary consumer. It eats plain bush tail grasses which is a producer.	It is a Herbivore since it eats only plant origin material i.e grass.
Donkey	It is a primary consumer.	It is a Herbivore,since it eats lush,green verdigrass.
Elephant	It is a primary consumer.	It is a Herbivore,since it eats low shrubs,herbs.
Goat	It is a primary consumer.	It is a Herbivore,since it eats dry Goat weed..
Hippo	It is a primary consumer.	It is a Herbivore,since it eats lush,green verdigrass.
Horse	It is a primary consumer. It eats plain bush tail grasses which is a producer.	It is a Herbivore since it eats only plant origin material i.e grass.
Lion	It is a secondary consumer,since it hunts and eat Goat herds,camel and donkeys.	It is a Carnivore since it eats only animals.
Rhino	It is a primary consumer.	It is a Herbivore,since it eats lush,green verdigrass
Tiger	It is a secondary consumer,since it hunts and eat ,camel and donkeys.	It is a Carnivore since it eats only animals
Great gold fish	It is a primary consumer since it eats indigo water weed.	It is a Herbivore where it eats water weeds.
Low shrubs	It is producer where it produces food through photosynthesis.	It is an autotroph since it prepares food on its own.
Vertigrass	It is producer where it produces food through photosynthesis.	It is an autotroph since it prepares food on its own.
Dry goatweed	These are herbs,which is a producer where it produces food..	It is an autotroph since it prepares food on its own.
Plains bush tail grass	It is producer since it produces food .	It is an autotroph since it prepares food on its own.
Indigo waterweed	It is producer where it produces food through photosynthesis.	It is an autotroph since it prepares food on its own.
