Answer:

Grasshoppers are primary consumers.

Explanation:

Autotrophs serve as primary producers in a food chain as they can make organic food by the process of photosynthesis. In the given food chain, tall grass is the primary producer. Grasshoppers derive their nutrition from the tall grass. The organisms that derive nutrition directly from the primary producers are said to be primary consumers. This makes grasshoppers primary consumers.

Mice the secondary consumers as they feed on the grasshoppers, the primary consumers. Red-tailed hawks are the top consumers in the given food chain. The bacteria, beetles, fungi, and worms are the decomposers that derive nutrition from the organic matter present in the dead bodies of the red-tailed hawks.
