Question

F.
Differentiate between the following pairs.
1. Autotroph and heterotroph
2. Herbivore and omnivore
3. Cereals and pulses
4. Scavenger and carnivore​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. ☆Autotrophs are producers which prepare their own food.

☆Heterotrophs are the consumers who depend on other sources for their food.

2. ☆Animals that eat plants exclusively are herbivores, and animals that eat only meat are carnivores.

☆When animals eat both plants and meat, they are called omnivores.

3. The cereals are the grasses, whereas pulses are leguminous. The cereals belong to the Poaceae family (monocot), while pulses are crops that produce pods. Let us learn the difference between cereals and pulses. Cereals and Pulses are small, dry, and hard seeds.

4. Carnivores and scavengers both feed on the flesh of other animals; however carnivores hunt their prey, whereas scavengers do not kill other animals. They feed on already dead animals.
