Question

Define grazing food chain and detritus food chain with two examples of each ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Grazing food chain helps in adding energy. Detritus food chain helps in fixing inorganic nutrients. Examples. Grazing food chain involves all macroscopic organisms. Detritus food chain involves subsoil organisms, which can be macroscopic or microscopic

Answer 2

Answer:

A grazing food chain is a food chain which starts with green plants as the main source of energy. A detritus food chain is a food chain which starts with the dead remains of organisms as a main source of energy. The grazing food chain releases energy into the ecosystem.

Another example of a detritus food chain is when dead organic waste is consumed by microscopic organisms like bacteria or fungi. Later, these microscopic organisms are consumed by other detritivore organisms like snails, earthworms and so on.
