3. 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.
4. The food chain is a linear sequence of organisms where nutrients and energy is transferred from one organism to the other. This occurs when one organism consumes another organism.
7. Illegal hunting of animals for their body parts is called as poaching.
Long Answer Questions
1. Producers
•Producers are organisms that can make its own food.
•Producers are commonly called autotrophs.
•An Example of Producers are green plants.
Consumers
•Consumers are organisms that obtain energy by feeding on other organisms.
•In the food chain, heterotrophs are primary, secondary and tertiary consumers.
•An Example of consumers are animals.
2. Food chain tells us how energy is transferred from one organism to another. It is a linear sequence of organisms (i.e. Energy flows in one direction ).
For example - In a forest - Deer eats the leaves the trees and tiger eats the deer.
3. Land clearing involves the removal of native vegetation and habitats, including the bulldozing of native bushlands, forests, savannah, woodlands and native grasslands and the draining of natural wetlands for replacement with agriculture, urban and other land uses.
4. Animals are consumers and they all depend on plants for survival. Some eat plants directly, while others eat animals that eat the plants. In turn, some plants depend on animals to help spread their seed. Decomposing animal carcasses can also provide nutrients for plants to grow.
