What Do You Know About Food Web? Trivia Questions

All plants are producers.

Grass is the correct answer because it is a type of plant that undergoes photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. This glucose is then used by the grass as a source of energy for growth and survival. Therefore, grass depends on the sun for its energy.

Earthworms do not attach themselves to host organisms and live off of their blood.

A scavenger is an organism that feeds on dead or decaying organic matter. Vultures are known for their scavenging behavior, as they primarily feed on carrion (dead animals).
