Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Filter feeders are organisms that can concentrate microbes as they filter water for nutrients. Examples of filter feeders include mussels, oysters, and some types of plankton. Grazers (A) eat plants or other organisms directly, while secondary consumers (C) eat herbivores or other secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers (D) eat other carnivores. Scavengers (E) eat dead animals. While these organisms may come into contact with microbes, they do not specialize in concentrating them like filter feeders do.
