OpenStudy (jlg030597):

B.

OpenStudy (dragons1415):

isn't D though? because the praying mantis can't be an autotroph because an autotroph and a producer make their own food and herbivores only eat plants, so the answer must be D. Consumer, carnivore, predator.

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

Nope a matis is an autotroph.

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

Well look it up on line promise you i looked it up and read about it and it said it was.

OpenStudy (dragons1415):

A mantis doesn't make its own food. A mantis obtains its own food, which means its a consumer.

OpenStudy (dragons1415):

Thanks @Ryaan

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

it is d....it is a consumer bcuz it hasnt produced its own food and has used other animal as carbon source. carnivore because he is not havin plants but organism.

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

Ok then im wrong ill believe @shrutipande9

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

thank u...to clear ur concepts @jlg030597 producer is d own which produces its own food...and autotrophs is also pretty much d same...eg is plants...

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

@jlg030597 never just assume that u r wrong bcuz u r sayin something against d population...know d reason why it is wrong..:)

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

OpenStudy (jlg030597):

but also i may have used a site that is able to be changed.

OpenStudy (dragons1415):

That's y u check other sites to make sure that one site is right lol :P @jlg030597

OpenStudy (jlg030597):
