Question

• A. First link of the food chain are known as primary producers
• B. Second link of the food chain are known as herbivores
• C. Third link of the food chain are known as tertiary consumers
• D. Present at the end of food chain are detritivores

Answer 1

The correct option is D Present at the end of food chain are detritivores

The organisms which attack dead animals and obtain nutrition from their detritus (decomposing parts of plant and animals, even feces) are called as detritivores (kind of heterotrophs). They are present at the end of the food chain because they consume the highest trophic level organisms by their biomacromolecular digesting enzymes. Therefore, concluding the food chains often.

So, the correct answer to the question is 'Present at the end of the food chain are detrivores'.
