Decomposers Vs. Detritivores? - decomposers vs herbivores

What is the difference between detritovers and decomposers?

darkcata... said...: They are really different, although the difference is small. Organizations are scavengers, feeding themselves) by decomposing organic matter [eg droppings (faeces, litter, detritus (marine snow)]. Decomposers are organisms that consume only the dead.; December 17, 2009 at 12:07 PM
sweetgal... said...: The use of decomposing corpses and non-living organic compounds as a food source. Use of organic and inorganic sources. Detritus consumed during the decomposition of organic matter.

Saprotrophic decomposers (o) are consuming organisms, dead organisms, and thus emphasize the natural process of decomposition. Like herbivores and predators are heterotrophic decomposers, ie using organic substrates for energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development. The use of decomposing corpses and non-living organic compounds as a food source. The primary decomposers are bacteria and fungi.

Scavengers, which are also known as scavengers or saprophagous feed from heterotrophic detritus consumption (decomposition of organic matter). In this way contribute to the decomposition and nutrient cycling.
Scavengers are an important component of many ecosystems. You can live in soil with an organic, even living in marine ecosystems in which they are called alternating with bottom feeders.; December 17, 2009 at 3:55 PM
