Answer 1

Answer:

SCAVENGER IS THE ANSWER

EX: HYENA

Answer 2

Answer:

Decomposer is the answer

Eg:- Certain Bacteria and Viruses

Explanation:

CARNIVORES is not even an option because they are animals such as tiger and lion which prey upon the herbivores for their food. They are also known as consumers of the second order.

**Scavenger is not the answer because scavengers don't BREAK DOWN THE DEAD MATTER INTO SIMPLER SUBSTANCES..

Scavengers eat the DEAD REMAINS OF ANIMALS.. Eg-Vulture

ON THE OTHER HAND, DECOMPOSERS ARE CERTAIN BACTERIA AND VIRUSES WHICH HELP TO BREAK DOWN THE DEAD MATTER OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS INTO SIMPLER SUBSTANCES AND PROVIDE THE ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS BACK TO THE SOIL WHICH HELPS IN NITROGEN FIXATION.
