Which statement best compares consumers and decomposer? a. both get their energy by feeding on other organisms b. both get their energy by photosynthesizing c. consumers feed on other organisms, and decomposers make their own food d. consumers make their own food, and decomposers feed on other organisms

The correct answer is the option A.Both get their energy by feeding on other organisms.

The producers such as plants are the organisms, which are capable of synthesizing their own food by various processes. all the other organisms, depends on the producers to obtain the food.

The consumers and the decomposers both obtain their food from the other organisms. the primary consumers consume the plants directly and the secondary as well as tertiary consumers consume other animals to obtain the food. The decomposers feed on the dead decaying matter of the plants and animals for their own food requirement, they cannot synthesize their own food, they rely on the organic product left of the dead organisms.

during the process of dna replication, brdu can replace thymidine and incorporate into the newly synthesized dna, cell proliferation thus can be reflected in the extent of brdu incorporation.
