A scavenger is something that eats dead and decaying animals

eg (raccoon)

A producer is plant That gets nutrients from the compost/matter on the ground

and grows, mainly to get aten and continue the food chain

One way to tell is that a Producer is at the start of a food chain.

however,

The scavenger is usually near the end of the chain .

maybe before or after the predator.

What is the scientific meaning of scavenger?

A scavenger is a consumer that eats the tissue of dead organisms that it does not freshly kill for itself. Lions and hyenas can act as scavengers but both will also consume fresh prey. Vultures are notorious scavengers but again will kill fresh prey if they can. Black bears can also act as scavengers. There are few if any organisms that act exclusively as scavengers.
