Question

Cockroach is

• A. Herbivorous
• B. Sanguivorous
• C. Carnivorous
• D. Omnivorous

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

An omnivore is an animal whose species normally derives its energy and nutrients from a diet consisting of a variety of food sources that may include plants, animals, algae, fungi and bacteria. The term omnivore means 'all-eater'. The cockroach feeds on both plant cells (vegetable waste and animal cells (dead insects). They are omnivores because they eat grass and leaves but they also eat meat which is bats.
A herbivore is an animal that gets its energy from eating plants, and only plants.
A carnivore meaning 'meat eater' is an organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue, whether through predation or scavenging.
Sanguivorous means feeding on blood. A cockroach does not feed on blood.

So, the correct answer is 'Omnivorous'
