Information about the suitability of duckweeds for human or animal nutrition is also available. This page is will be expanded to include additional information, particularly on the amino acid and saccharide composition of duckweeds.

Detritivore

Detritivores, also known as detritophages, detritus feeders, detritus eaters, or saprophages, are heterotrophs that obtain nutrients by consuming detritus (decomposing plant and animal parts as well as feces).[1] There are many kinds of invertebrates, vertebrates and plants that carry out coprophagy. By doing so all these detritivores, contribute to decomposition and the nutrient cycles. They should be distinguished from other decomposers, such as many species of bacteria, fungi and protists, which are unable to ingest discrete lumps of matter, but instead live by absorbing and metabolizing on a molecular scale (saprotrophic nutrition). However, the terms detritivore and decomposer are often used interchangeably.

Detritivores are an important aspect of many ecosystems. Ecology[edit] Vermiponic Garden. How to Make Your Own Worm Compost System: 10 steps. Steps Part 1 of 3: Making a Home for Your Worms 1Obtain a worm bin.
