Example Question #1 :Life Science

Select the type of organism that eats living plants.

Possible Answers:

Decomposers

Producers

Producers and Consumers

Consumers

Correct answer:

Consumers

Explanation:

There are three main types of organisms that make up a food chain: producers, consumers, and decomposers.

Producersproduce, or make, their own food. Plants are producers because they make their own food using sun, water, and carbon dioxide.

Consumersare animals that can't make their own food, so they eat, or consume, plants and/or other animals.

Decomposerseat dead plants and animals. Bacteria and fungi are common examples of decomposers.

Concumers is the correct answer.
