NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In the animal kingdom there are two basic types of organisms: plant eaters and animal eaters. Animals that eat plants are called herbivores while animals that eat other animals are known as carnivores. Carnivores (predators) tend to be quick, agile, and have strong, powerful bodies and weapons (like claws and teeth).

Detailed explanation-2: -The living things that eat producers and other animals are called consumers. A predator is an animal that eats other animals. The animals that are eaten are called prey. Predators are at the top of a food chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -PRODUCERS: At the bottom of the food chain, plants are natural producers and provide food and nutrients to consumers. HERBIVORES: Herbivores nourish on plants and insects. PREDATORS: Predators prey on herbivores or other predators.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a predator chain, a plant-eating animal is eaten by a flesh-eating animal. In a parasite chain, a smaller organism consumes part of a larger host and may itself be parasitized by even smaller organisms.
