Explanation:

Please, find attached two pictures with the complete question and the figure to identify the consumers as C - Carnivore, O - omnivore, and H - herbivore.

You must use the definitions:

• Carnivores feed on meat
• Omnivores feed on meat and plants
• Herbivores feed on plants

The arrows on the figure indicate the food chain in a pond of water. Folow the arrows:

• Zooplankton feeds on phytoplankton, so it is herbivore: H

• Prawn feeds on zooplankton, so it is carnivore: C

• Fish feeds on prawn, so it is carnivore: C

• Mussels feed on zooplankton and phytoplankton, so it is omnivore: O

• Crab feeds on mussels and limpets, so it is carnivore: C

• Gull feeds  prawn, mussels, crabs, limpets, and whelks, so it is carnivore: C

• Limpets feed on seaweed, so it is herbivore: H

• Whelk feeds on mussels and limpets, so it is carnivore: C

• Lobster feeds on crab, mussels, whelk, and limpets, so it is carnivore: C.
