Question: 1 / 400

Which term describes a consumer that eats only animals?

Omnivore

Herbivore

Carnivore

A carnivore is an animal that eats only other animals, so it is the only answer that accurately describes an animal that eats only animals. An omnivore (A) is an animal that eats both plants and animals, so this does not answer the question. A herbivore (B) is an animal that eats only plants, so this also does not answer the question. A decomposer (D) is an organism that breaks down dead organic matter, so it is not a consumer and does not fit the description of an animal that eats only animals.
