Question

question 8 of 10
which of the following is a role of a detrivore?
a. to decompose dead animals
b. to help remove nitrogen from the air
c. to protect parasites from predators
d. to make oxygen from solar energy

Explanation:

Detrivores are organisms that consume dead organic matter. Decomposing dead animals is a key role of detrivores. Nitrogen removal from air is related to nitrogen - fixing bacteria (not detrivores). Protecting parasites from predators is not a role of detrivores. Making oxygen from solar energy is the role of producers (like plants) through photosynthesis.

Answer:

A. To decompose dead animals
