*
Grasshoppers are tertiary consumers
Frogs are primary consumers
Grasshoppers are secondary consumers
Frogs are secondary consumers that eat grasshoppers

Answer 1

The statement that accurately describes the relationship between grasshoppers and frogs is: **Frogs are secondary consumers that eat grasshoppers**.

In this context:
- Grasshoppers are typically considered primary consumers (herbivores), as they eat plants.
- Frogs, which eat grasshoppers and other small invertebrates, are considered secondary consumers.

Thus, the most accurate characterization based on typical ecological roles is that frogs are secondary consumers that eat grasshoppers.
