Question
detritivores include
algae and photosynthetic bacteria
millipedes, soil insects, and many ants
species that can break down cellulose, bone, and other durable biopolymers
bacteria and fungi
wolves, lions, and oak trees
Brief Explanations
Detritivores are organisms that feed on detritus (dead and decaying organic matter).
- Algae and photosynthetic bacteria are primary producers (autotrophs), not detritivores.
- Millipedes, soil insects, and many ants consume detritus.
- Species that break down cellulose, bone, etc., are decomposers (like some bacteria and fungi that use chemical means to break down matter, while detritivores use physical consumption).
- Bacteria and fungi are mainly decomposers.
- Wolves and lions are carnivores, oak trees are producers.
