Secondary consumers do not create their own energy from sunlight; instead, they obtain energy by consuming other organisms. Here’s a breakdown of your options:
A) **Create their own energy from sunlight** - This is incorrect; that describes primary producers (like plants).
B) **Each other animals** - Secondary consumers primarily eat primary consumers (herbivores) rather than each other, although some may eat other secondary consumers if they are carnivorous.
C) **Eat mostly plants** - This is incorrect; secondary consumers typically do not eat mostly plants; they usually consume primary consumers (herbivores).
D) **Often live alone** - This can be true for some secondary consumers, but many may also be found in groups depending on the species and environmental factors.
The most accurate characterization of secondary consumers is that they **eat primary consumers**, which would fit better into a more comprehensive answer, even though none of the options directly correspond to this correct definition.
