Answer 1

To determine the best description of the role that birds play in their ecosystems based on the information in paragraph 8, we need to consider the common roles that birds typically fulfill.

1. Consumers: Birds are primarily consumers as they obtain energy by eating other organisms, including plants and animals.
2. Omnivores: Many birds eat a varied diet that can include seeds, fruits, insects, and small animals, classifying them as omnivores.

Given these characteristics, the best response would be:

Consumers, omnivores.
