Question

A black bear that eats berries and fish would be classified as

• A. A producer
• B. An omnivore
• C. A carnivore
• D. An herbivore
• E. An autotroph

Answer 1

The correct option is B An omnivore

A. Producers are the green plants that convert solar energy into chemical energy.

B. An omnivore is a tertiary consumer that depends on herbivores (primary consumers), carnivores (secondary consumers) and producers for its food.

C. A carnivore is a secondary consumer that depends on herbivores (primary consumer) and producers for its food.

D. A herbivore is a primary consumer that depends upon producers for its food.

E. An autotroph is a living organism that can prepare its own food. For example, green plants.

Hence, a black bear that eats berries and fish would be carnivore as it is feeding both on plants and animals.

So, the correct answer is 'An omnivore'.
