Which statement accurately shows information about organisms in food chains and their roles? Select
two
correct answers.
Primary consumers, also known as herbivores, eat plants and play a key role in transferring energy in a food chain.

Omnivores, like humans, exclusively consume plants for their energy in a food chain.
Detritivores contribute to the recycling of nutrients in an ecosystem by breaking down nonliving plant and animal remains.
