Describe different members of the decomposition food web

What will be an ideal response?


Members of the decomposition food web include scavengers, detritus feeders, and chemical decomposers. "Scavengers eat larger dead things" and "may also eat living (things) some of the time." Detritus feeders are "organisms that feed directly on detritus," and chemical decomposers can include "fungi and bacteria that cause rotting."
