Neither!
An organism that eats detritus is termed a decomposer.
A herbivore eats living plants, and a carnivore living animals. Decomposers make a meal out of fallen leaves, animal droppings, animal corpses, dead plants, whatever is in the compost heap, and so on.
Detritus is not an animal but a term for organic, nonliving waste such as poo.
Yes, detritivores do eat herbivores, but only after they have died and are beginning to decompose. Detritivores eat decaying plant and animal material or detritus.
yes since it consumes the remains of other organisms. It does not produce its own energy (through photosynthesis or cellular respiration) like autotrophs do.
Carnivore eats meat and a Herbivore does not eat meat but eats plants; like a fox (carnivore) and a rabbit (herbivore).
I happen to be an omnivore but I suspect your teacher wants to know which YOU are.
No, a carnivore eats only meat. An herbivore eats only plants. An omnivore, such as a bear, fox or raccoon, eats both plants and animals.
They are are Herbivores
No. Cows are herbivores, not detritivores or decomposers.
The animals from the pond that are detritivores are ones that eat dead organisms. Some of the common detritivores include flatworms, snails and water lice among others.
Herbivores eat plants, and plants are producers. So, all herbivores eat producers.
Grasshoppers prefer leaves, grass, wheat, and other grains, making them herbivores. However, some varieties of the insect are omnivores. Detritivores eat dead organic, plants, which do not appeal to grasshoppers.
HERBIVORE

Flatworms are carnivores, herbivores and scavengers.
carnivores
No. Cows are herbivores, not detritivores or decomposers.
Herbivores, Carnivores, Omnivores, and Detritivores
cannibals, carnivores,herbivores,omnivores,Detritivores,and scavengers
carnivores - eat other animals herbivores- eat mainly autotrophs (plants and algae) omnivores - regularly consume animals as well as plants or algal matter detritivores - regularly consume dead organic matter
Earthworms, flatworms, water lice, some fish, termites, and crabs are detritivores that eat dead and decomposing organic material. Any animal, or consumer, that eats insects can eat them. This includes birds, most bears, frogs, and any other consumer eats other animals.
herbivores, carnivores, detritivores, and filter feeders.
Three types of heterotrophes are: humans, alligators and fish. Plants are autotrophes which means they produce their own food within their body. If you compare the three heterotrophs I listed above, then they all consume (or eat) different types of food and capture them in different ways.
The animals from the pond that are detritivores are ones that eat dead organisms. Some of the common detritivores include flatworms, snails and water lice among others.
