Which of the following pairs incorrectly matches a biotic component with its role in the ecosystem?
hard Q10 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand roles of biotic components
Decomposers break down dead matter; producers (plants) perform photosynthesis; consumers eat other organisms; herbivores feed on plants.Step 2: Analyze each pair
Decomposers breaking down dead matter is correct. Producers converting sunlight into chemical energy is correct. Consumers do not produce their own food; they consume others. Herbivores feeding on plants is correct.Step 3: Identify incorrect match
The incorrect match is consumers producing their own food through photosynthesis, which is false.Final Answer:
Consumers - Produce their own food through photosynthesis → Option DQuick Check:
Consumers producing food = Incorrect ✅
Quick Trick: Only producers photosynthesize, not consumers.
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing consumers with producers in food chains.
