Detritus means any rock fragments or disintegrated material that has been broken or worn away from a larger mass. This breaking away may occur by accident or by erosion, through wind, water or glacial ice.
Some amphipods are detritus (a decomposer that live in water), but some are carnivore.
== == The Decomposer always comes last because when the animal dies the decomposer decomposes it. A normal food chain would be something like: sun energy> grass> cow> human> decomposing bacteria The decomposer/detritus feeder always breaks down waste (being excrement or dead matter) in an ecosystem so that buildup won't be a problem.
Yes, decomposers and detritus feeders do cellular respiration. They break down organic matter through the process of cellular respiration to obtain energy for their survival and growth. This process involves the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler compounds, releasing energy in the form of ATP.
Detritus
The common jackknife clam, also known as Ensis directus, is not a decomposer. Instead, it is a bivalve mollusk that primarily feeds on organic matter in the sediment, including detritus and phytoplankton. While it contributes to the ecosystem by recycling nutrients and facilitating sediment aeration, its role is more aligned with being a filter feeder rather than a decomposer. Decomposers are typically organisms like fungi and bacteria that break down dead organic material.
Detritus feeders(a.k.a, sapraphages, or ditritivores) ehterotrophs that get nutrients by comsuming detritus**decomposing organic matter**Example___________EarthwormsWoodlice
A sunflower is a producer. It is not a decomposer.
detritus is everywhere. Land,water, and air.
You will be examining the detritus of your homework if you plagiarise your answers.
A rock lobster is a consumer, specifically a type of marine animal that feeds on various organisms, including smaller fish, mollusks, and detritus. As a carnivorous species, it plays a role in the food web by consuming other organisms, rather than producing energy through photosynthesis like a producer or breaking down organic material like a decomposer.
A wallaby is not a decomposer. It is a consumer.
Detritivores, also known as detritophages or detritus feeders or detritus eaters or saprophages, are heterotrophs that obtain nutrients by consuming detritus (decomposing plant and animal parts as well as organic fecal matter). Typical detritivorous animals include millipedes, woodlice, dung flies, slugs, many terrestrial worms, sea stars, sea cucumbers, fiddler crabs, and some sedentary polychaetes such as amphitrites (Amphitritinae, worms of the family terebellidae) and other terebellids.
