Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference between scavenger and decomposer is that scavenger consumes dead plants, animals or carrion to break down the organic materials into small particles whereas decomposer consumes the small particles produced by the scavengers. Scavengers can be animals such as birds, crabs, insects, and worms.

Answer 2

Answer:

Decomposer: An organism, often a bacterium or fungus, that feeds on and breaks down dead plant or animal matter, thus making organic nutrients available to the ecosystem.

Scavenger: An animal, such as a bird or insect, that feeds on dead or decaying matter.

So basically, decomposer's are fungus' and stuff that break the matter down and release nutrients back into the ecosystem; and Scavengers' are animals that eat other animals prey, or what has died naturally.

Both are very important to the ecosystem to keep the carcasses down and out of sight.
