What are decomposers and detritivores?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, that is kinda hard to explain. Because, a prey can be a predator, and a predator can be a prey. That is because of food chains. For an example, a small fish might eat a plankton, and a squid might eat the fish, and a octopus might eat the squid, and a shark would eat the octopus, and a fishermen might kill and eat the shark. The small fish was a predator that ate the plankton, but then the fish became a prey, because the squid ate it. It is impossible for a animal to be JUST a prey/predator unless they don't eat animals.

How do decomposers obtain their carbon?

User Avatar

Asked by AlvaroTorresgp3910

Decomposers, when they break down dead organic matter, release carbon dioxide into the air also. Decomposers are essential because without them, all of the carbon on the planet would eventually become locked up in dead carcasses and other trash. Decay permits carbon to be released back into the food web. Carbon is also stored in fossil fuels, such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas.

How long does it take for a bat to decompose?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

About as long as it takes for any small mammal to decompose. But this depends significantly on the condition of the body (e.g. have scavengers gone over it) and the environmental conditions (e.g. humidity, temperature, insects) around the body.
