What do detritus feeder contribute the carbon cycle?
When these detritus feeders take in detritus with micro-organisms multiplying on it, they mainly break down and absorb the micro-organisms, which are rich in proteins, and excrete the detritus, which is mostly complex carbohydrates, having hardly broken it down at all.Detritus feeders contribute to the carbon cycle through respiration by taking up carbon and converting some of it to CO2 which is to be used by plants to produce carbohydrates.
What is difference between detritus feeder and carrion feeder?
The difference is that is that detritivore feeds on large parts of decaying plant, animal matter, and on waste material. A decomposer consumes and breaks down dead organisms or waste matter into simple substances. They both get nutrition from dead organic matter. The difference is that detritivores actually eat the organic matter (like earthworms eating their way through the soil) and decomposers secrete enzymes to digest the organic matter and then absorb the resulting molecules (like bacteria or fungi do).

How is detritus formed?

How do you use the word detritus in a sentence?
You will be examining the detritus of your homework if you plagiarise your answers.
