herbivore or omnivore

What two types of animals could be the second or third link of a food chain? Why?
An herbivore and omnivore could be the second or third link of a food chain. An omnivore eats both plants and animals and therefore could be after the producer in a food chain or right before a carnivore in a food chain.

Which organism depends on the largest number of other organisms in the energy pyramid? Why?
The consumer depends on the largest number of other organisms in the energy pyramid. The largest number of organisms on the energy pyramid is the producers (plants). So a consumer like herbivores and omnivores depend on the producers for energy.

How can microorganisms be helpful? Support your answer by giving two examples.
