Which of the following is a primary consumer in a freshwater ecosystem?(1 point) Responses Zooplankton Zooplankton Duckweed Duckweed Dragonflies Dragonflies Alligators

Answer 1

In a freshwater ecosystem, the primary consumers are organisms that consume producers (plants and algae). Among the options provided, zooplankton and duckweed are considered as primary consumers. However, since zooplankton is specifically a primary consumer that feeds on phytoplankton (which are producers), I would focus on that.

So, zooplankton is the correct answer as a primary consumer in a freshwater ecosystem.
