What do we call any animal that feeds on flesh?

1. Cell

2. Cell Membrane

3. Carnivore

4. Catalyst

The correct answer is: Carnivore

The term for any animal that feeds primarily on flesh is "carnivore." Carnivores play an important role in the food chain as they help maintain the population of herbivores and other species. They are often characterized by their anatomical adaptations, such as sharp teeth and claws, that aid in hunting and consuming other animals. In contrast, the other terms in the list refer to entirely different concepts. "Cell" refers to the basic structural unit of all living organisms, while "cell membrane" is a biological barrier that surrounds the cell, controlling what enters and exits. "Catalyst" is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process, commonly found in chemistry and biological processes but unrelated to dietary habits of animals.
