Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) was a German mystic who practiced a "science" that combined alchemy, magic, mysticism, and astrology. Two of his books are Three Books of Occult Philosophy and On Calling Spirits. Through the writing of Agrippa, Frankenstein becomes very interested in alchemy, which is a pseudoscience whose main object is to find a way of turning base metals into gold. You could say that Frankenstein adapted the thinking of the alchemists and instead of transforming other metals into gold attempted to transform a corpse into a living being.
An interesting story about Agrippa concerns sightings of him after his death:
There were rumors that Agrippa had summoned demons on his death bed, and that a black dog roamed the countryside as his familiar. The black dog appears in tales as Faustus, Mephistopheles, and even as a grim in the Harry Potter series.

Answer:
Herbivore that feeds on producers
Explanation:
The producers are plants at the bottom of the food web. These are eaten by herbivores, that are the primary consumers.
Herbivores themselves are consumed by carnivores, which are secondary consumers.
Sometimes, these carnivores can be consumed by top predators, like a shark, snake or eagle.
<u>Options and why they are right/wrong</u>
Carnivore that feeds on producers - carnivores do not feed on producers
Herbivore that feeds on producers - this is correct
Herbivore that feeds on primary consumers - primary consumers are animals and herbivores do not eat animals
Carnivore that feeds on primary consumers - this would be a secondary consumer
Environmental and genetic factors can influence the growth of many organisms on earth such as plants, animals, and even fish. When the climate changes, many animals/organisms adapt by adaptation and evolution. Every organism can evolve in order to stay alive in this race of competition for survival. This is a natural accordance that happens every day in our world. Thus making organisms stay alive for longer periods of time.
