Question

Flies are scavengers and tend to break down dead organisms. Based on this information, what is a plant characteristic that would best attract flies? (1 point)

Answer 1

A plant characteristic that would best attract flies is the production of strong, decaying odors. Many plants that attract flies, such as corpse flowers, emit scents that mimic the smell of rotting flesh or other decaying organic matter, which appeals to scavenger flies looking for food sources or breeding sites.
