Question

Carla claims that she can classify a mammal according to a description of its mouth, jaws, and teeth. If Carla's claim is accurate, how does she most likely classify the animals?

A. as carnivores or herbivores, because mouthparts are adapted to eating either plants or meat
B. according to natural habitat or biome, because mouthparts are adapted to climate and other abiotic factors
C. according to average body size, because larger mammals tend to have more teeth than smaller mammals
D. as aquatic or terrestrial, because aquatic mammals tend to have smaller mouths than terrestrial mammals

Answer 1

A. As carnivores or herbivores, because mouthparts are adapted to eating either plants or meat.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's the only option related with food which is mainly what animals mouths are used for.

(The human is an omnivore. The back part of the mouth is for meat and the front is for plants. IDK if this will help)

Answer 2

A is the correct answer to this question.

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at a creature's jaw and tooth structure, and the shape of the teeth, you can determine quite easily the types of food it generally consumes.
