Detritus food chain
Detritus food chain: It starts from the dead organic matter and ends with inorganic matter. This consists of decomposers like fungi and bacteria. These live on the dead matter of the organism and decompose the organic matter and convert to inorganic matter, which is helpful for plants to prepare their food. However, these two food chains cannot function separately and are interconnected with each other at different levels. The organisms of detritus chain may serve as food for the organisms of grazing food chains. |
