Answer 1

To correctly classify organisms in a food web, we typically use the following definitions:

• Producers: Organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, typically plants and some algae.
• Primary consumers: Herbivores that eat producers.
• Secondary consumers: Carnivores that eat primary consumers.
• Tertiary consumers: Carnivores that eat secondary consumers.

However, since I don't have access to the specific food web you mentioned, I'll guide you on how to categorize them:

1. Identify Producers: Look for plants, phytoplankton, or any organism that produces energy through photosynthesis.
2. Identify Primary Consumers: Look for herbivores that feed on the producers.
3. Identify Secondary Consumers: Find carnivores that consume the primary consumers.
4. Identify Tertiary Consumers: Look for carnivores that eat the secondary consumers.

Once you identify these categories in your food web, you can classify each organism accordingly. If you have specific organisms listed in the food web, feel free to share those, and I can help you classify them!
