Recycling Ecosystems Saprophytes Detritivores Main Differences Decomposers Saprophytic

This flashcard differentiates between saprophytes (external digestion) and detritivores (internal digestion and increased surface area) in the context of recycling within ecosystems.

This flashcard differentiates between saprophytic decomposers, which use external enzymes, and detritivores, which use internal digestion to increase surface area.

Back - decomposers are saprophytic so external enzymes, detritivores inc SA and have internal digestion and inc rate of decomp
