Question

Which is not a consumer?

Options

• Omnivore

• Herbivore

• Decomposer

• Autotroph

Answer 1

Autotroph

Explanation:

Autotrophs are not consumers. They are producers that make their own food through photosynthesis using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Consumers, including omnivores, herbivores, and decomposers, rely on consuming other organisms for food, either directly or indirectly. Hence, autotrophs differ fundamentally from heterotrophs, as they produce their own food rather than consume it.
