80% Answer Correctly

proton

electron

neutron

A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.


3

Which of the following members of the food chain are most alike?

65% Answer Correctly

herbivores and autotrophs

primary consumers and omnivores

producers and tertiary consumers

scavengers and decomposers


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.
