The turkey vulture's diet consists almost entirely of carrion, which is decaying animal matter, like roadkill and human garbage. They will rarely eat live prey (such as sick or dying birds and rodents) and plants. How are they classified?(1 point)Responsesautotrophautotrophherbivoreherbivoreomnivoreomnivorecarnivore
Why is each level of the energy pyramid smaller than the level directly below it?(1 point)ResponsesBecause about 10% of the energy is converted to heat when organisms become ill and another 10% when they die.Because about 10% of the energy is converted to heat when organisms become ill and another 10% when they die.Because the sizes of each level show that 10% is consumed by organisms at that level.Because the sizes of each level show that 10% is consumed by organisms at that level.Because 10% of the energy at each level moves to the next level and some additional energy is converted to heat.Because 10% of the energy at each level moves to the next level and some additional energy is converted to heat.Because 90% of the energy is passed on to the next level to be used by the organisms there.

Based on the information provided, the turkey vulture can be classified as an omnivore. An omnivore is an organism that has a diet consisting of both plant material and animal matter. In the case of the turkey vulture, although its diet primarily consists of carrion (decaying animal matter), it will also consume live prey such as sick or dying birds and rodents. This means that it obtains nutrients from both plant and animal sources, which aligns with the definition of an omnivore.
