Question

Venn diagram with two intersecting circles. One circle is labeled Consumers and has the label X within it. The other circle is labeled Producers.
Which label belongs in the area marked X?

Answer 1

"eat other organisms"

Reason: Consumers get nitrogen by consuming other organisms (or their wastes); producers make their own food and typically absorb inorganic nitrogen from the soil.
