Question

which of the following statements is false about an ecosystem?

○ an ecosystem is a biological environment.

○ the ecosystem may be comprised of many different organisms.

○ the producers in the ecosystem are called autotrophs.

○ the autotrophs are called herbivores.

Explanation:

• An ecosystem is a biological environment (true, as it includes living organisms and their physical environment).
• Ecosystems have many different organisms (true, with various species interacting).
• Producers (autotrophs) make their own food (true, e.g., plants via photosynthesis).
• Herbivores are heterotrophs (consume plants), while autotrophs produce food. So "The autotrophs are called herbivores" is false.

Answer:

The autotrophs are called herbivores.
