Question

Are scavengers also decomposers ?

Open in App
Solution

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms and in doing so, they carry out the natural process of decomposition. e.g. : fungi, bacteria etc.

Scavenging is a feeding behaviour in which organisms feed on dead plants and animals but do not decompose them.
