Question

Which of the following are nature's cleaners?

• A. Producers
• B. Consumers
• C. Symbionts
• D. Decomposers and scavengers

Answer 1

The correct option is D Decomposers and scavengers

• Scavengers are organisms, that consume remains of other dead organisms or their waste products. The scavenger's role in the ecosystem is to prepare bodies for decomposition. They open up the bodies so that others can share the food. Scavengers include large animals. For example, crow and vulture.
• Decomposers are organisms that transform the bodies of both plants and animals back into the basic constituents they were made from. Decomposers are mostly bacteria and fungi. Hence, decomposers and scavengers are nature's cleaners.
• Thus, the correct answer is (D).
