Which of the following describes the different classifications of consumers in an ecosystem?

Question

Herbivores are always plants. Carnivores are always animals.
Omnivores are always humans.

Herbivores eat producers. Carnivores eat other consumers. Omnivores eat producers and other consumers.

Herbivores only live in aquatic ecosystems. Carnivores and omnivores only live in terrestrial ecosystems.

Herbivores are tertiary consumers. Carnivores are primary consumers. Omnivores are also primary consumers.

Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the different classifications of consumers in an ecosystem is:

Herbivores eat producers. Carnivores eat other consumers. Omnivores eat producers and other consumers.

This accurately represents the roles of herbivores (primary consumers), carnivores (secondary or tertiary consumers depending on their position in the food chain), and omnivores (which can eat both producers and consumers).
