Question
A detritus food chain begins with a green plant
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
This statement is false. A detritus food chain begins with dead organic matter (detritus), not with a living green plant. The energy source is dead material from the grazing food chain. For example: dead leaves -> fungus -> earthworm -> bird.
Hint
Does a detritus food chain start with a living plant or dead organic matter?
