Question

in a diagram of a food web, carnivores and herbivores are both consumers. which statement best describes how they differ from one another?
carnivores eat living organisms whereas herbivores eat organisms that have died.
carnivores eat only animals whereas herbivores eat only plants.
carnivores produce all the energy they need.
carnivores obtain energy by eating food whereas herbivores obtain energy from sunlight.

Explanation:

Carnivores are animals that eat other animals. Herbivores are animals that eat plants. Consumers are organisms that get their energy by eating other organisms. Producers (like plants) produce their own energy through photosynthesis. The first option is wrong because herbivores eat living plants. The third option is wrong because carnivores are consumers, not producers. The fourth option is wrong because herbivores are consumers (they eat plants) and don't get energy from sunlight (only producers do that).

Answer:

Carnivores eat only animals whereas herbivores eat only plants.
