nancy9494 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Which of the following are consumers? Choose all that apply. I have chosen all of them but the plants because they are producers? I am not too sure on the prey option very vague I think what kind of prey? It could be a rabbit, which is a consumer of plants. OR does it mean consumers in this context? That would include only predator, herbivore, parasite only. pls help Predator Herbivore Prey Parasite Host Plant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 This seems to me a badly phrased question and so I understand your uncertainty. I also agree with your conclusion: Predators consume their prey Herbivores consume plants Parasites consume (part of) their hosts Prey does not, in context, consume anything, but is itself consumed Host plant consumes only non-living material. However, strictly speaking everything on the list consumes something, hence the uncertainty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
