Ecosystems have producers, decomposers, and consumers. Carnivores and scavengers are both types of consumers in an ecosystem. Which of the following claims identifies a characteristic of scavengers that
makes them different from carnivores?
F. Scavengers eat only plant materials.
G. Scavengers are omnivores that always eat live animals.
H. Scavengers are omnivores that eat dead plants and animals.
I. Scavengers are able to produce their own food when no other food is available.

H. Scavengers are omnivores that eat dead plants and animals.

Explanation:

Scavengers eat both living and dead animals and plants but they eat dead and decaying plants and animals more with a preference for dead animals. Examples of scavengers include hyenas, coyotes and racoons.

Carnivores on the other hand, do not eat dead animals and actually hunt down the animals that they eat. When they are done, the carcass that they leave is then eaten by scavengers.

its probably to later but whats the question
