Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All organisms fit into one of the two categories: producers or consumers. Producers are capable of producing their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while consumers must obtain their energy by eating other organisms. Decomposers, scavengers, detritivores, and other types of organisms fit into these two categories as either producers or consumers. Choice A, D, and E are not correct because they do not encompass all organisms and/or do not accurately describe the two main categories of organisms.
