Answer 2

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Primary producers generally form the largest tropic level of a pyramid. They are occupying major portion of the pyramid. They are mainly grasses, microscopic photosynthetic organism such as phytoplankton and also includes plants and algae.

Consumer consumes the food generated by producers because they are organisms they can not create their own food.
