1. A heterotroph
A. Is an autotroph
B. eats other organisms
C. Is a primary consumer
D. A and c
Is it d?
2. A scavenger
A. Is an autotroph
B. eats decomposing matter
C. Kills animals
D. All of the above
Is it d?
1. does heterotroph eat other living things?
2. if a scavenger eats decomposing matter how would it be an autotroph? What is an autotroph?
This should help you answer your question
1. Is a primary consumer
2. Eats decomposing matter
1. The correct answer is B. A heterotroph is an organism that obtains its energy by consuming other organisms. It cannot produce its own food like autotrophs.
2. The correct answer is B. A scavenger is an organism that feeds on dead or decaying matter. It does not kill animals for food and is not an autotroph.
To answer these questions, let's break down each option:
1. A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food and relies on consuming other organisms for nutrients. Let's examine each option:
- A. An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food, so this option is incorrect.
- B. Eating other organisms is one of the defining characteristics of a heterotroph, so this option is correct.
- C. Primary consumers are organisms that directly consume producers (autotrophs), so this option is incorrect.
- D. Option D states that a heterotroph is both an autotroph and a primary consumer. Since a heterotroph cannot produce its own food, Option D is incorrect.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer for Question 1 is B: eats other organisms.
2. A scavenger is an animal that feeds on dead or decaying organic matter. Let's examine each option:
- A. An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food, so this option is incorrect.
- B. Eating decomposing matter is one of the defining characteristics of a scavenger, so this option is correct.
- C. Killing animals is not necessarily a characteristic of a scavenger, so this option is incorrect.
- D. Option D states that a scavenger is an autotroph, eats decomposing matter, and kills animals. Since a scavenger does not necessarily kill animals, Option D is incorrect.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer for Question 2 is B: eats decomposing matter.
