3

Scavengers break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into which of the following?

65% Answer Correctly

simple nutrients

carrion

producers

complex carbohydrates


Solution

Like decomposers, scavengers also break down the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients. The difference is that scavengers operate on much larger refuse and dead animals (carrion). Decomposers then consume the much smaller particles left over by the scavengers.
