An orange roughy fish eats squid and small fish. it also is eaten by predators like dolphins and sharks. where would the orange roughy most likely appear on a food web?

a. it is a primary producer because it provides food for the dolphins and sharks.
b. it is a tertiary consumer because most of the things it eats are secondary producers.
c. it is a secondary consumer because it eats two types of things.
d. it is a primary consumer because it has both predators and prey.

The correct answer would be B. It is a tertiary consumer because most of the things it eats are secondary producers.

In a food chain or web, the tertiary consumers are those which can consume primary as well as secondary consumers.  

They are either carnivores, that is, meat eater or omnivores, that is, those who consume both plants as well as animals.

Similarly, orange roughy fish consume organisms like squid which is itself a secondary or tertiary consumer in a food chain. It can also consume small fishes which are primary consumers in a food chain.

Thus, orange roughy fishes would be a tertiary consumer in a food web.

B. It is a tertiary consumer because most of the things it eats are secondary consumers.

before, trains worked using the steam engine. thus, it uses heat so it is crucial to apply heat balance. the steam engine absorbs energy during the stage of boiling water. so, this is the endothermic reaction. when the steam is used to work the piston, it has to release this energy through running the train. the excess energy is released as an exhaust to the chimney. this is the exothermic process because it releases energy to the surroundings.
