Answer 1

In a grassland ecosystem, the autotroph would be **prairie cordgrass**. Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and prairie cordgrass is a plant that can do this. The muskrat, mallard duck, and monarch butterfly are all heterotrophs, as they rely on other organisms for their food.
