In an ecological context, a hawk is a tertiary consumer, while a snake is typically a secondary consumer, and grasshoppers are primary consumers. Hawks feed on snakes and other animals, while snakes may prey on insects like grasshoppers. Grasshoppers, as herbivores, consume grass and other plants, making them a primary consumer in the food chain. Each plays a distinct role in the ecosystem, contributing to energy flow and population control.
