Answer 1

In a grassland ecosystem, the autotroph would be the prairie cordgrass. Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, typically using sunlight or inorganic compounds. In contrast, the mallard duck, muskrat, and monarch butterfly are all heterotrophs, as they rely on other organisms for food.
