Why aren't decomposer's classed as scavengers?
=Because Decomposers break down dead food where as scavengers eat living thing=
Perch are primarily carnivorous fish that feed on smaller fish, insects, and invertebrates rather than being true scavengers. However, they may opportunistically consume decaying organic matter if it's readily available. While not classified as scavengers, their feeding behavior can sometimes include scavenging when it benefits their survival.
How do scavengers protect the biosphere against the spread of disease?
By destroying the environment.
scavengers are kind of like "nature's vacuum". they feed on the remains of dead animals and the remains that other animals have left behind.
Most scavengers are omnivores that will eat any plant/meat remains that contain some nutritional value, ( such as lobsters who feed on anything from small fish to seaweed and plankton)...but many are strictly carnivorous eating only animal remains...(such as the vulture).

How does the Scavenger's Daughter work?
The Scavenger's Daughter
Less well-known than the rack, the Scavenger's Daughter, or Skeffington's Irons, was the brainchild of the Lieutenant of the Tower of London in Henry VIII's reign, Sir Leonard Skeffinton or Skevington - hence, by corruption, its popular name.
The Scavenger's Daughter was conceived as the perfect complement to the Duke of Exeter's Daughter (the rack) because it worked the opposite principle to the rack by compressing the body rather than stretching it.
The Scavenger's Daughter is rarely mentioned in the documents and the device itself was probably not much used. The best-documented use is that on the Irishman Thomas Miagh, charged with being in contact with rebels in Ireland. It may be in connection with Scavenger's Daughter that Miagh carved on the wall of the Beauchamp Tower in the Tower of London, "By torture straynge my truth was tried, yet of my libertie denied. 1581. Thomas Miagh."

Why do hawks circle in the sky?
Hawks circle when they are looking for prey and they also look like they are circling when they are actually riding the warm thermals in the atmosphere. Some of what you might think are hawks could actually be turkey vultures or black birds.
*Improvement*
Mainly buteos do soaring, as their wide wings enable them to glide without a single flap of the wing. Vultures will circle on warm thermals, and doves can catch the wind and briefly glide. Swallows and martins circle and zip in the sky catching small bugs.
What kind of food do you like to eat more than the other?
I like Chinese food a lot. I like it better than other kinds of food such as Italian or French.
