E. O. Wilson says that "...the process of decay is driven by scavengers, in nature beginning with vultures and blowflies and ending with fungi and bacteria." Some of the scavengers he listed are special because they convert recalcitrant organic molecules into inorganic while releasing the last bit of chemical energy as heat. Which of the organisms in the list do this? Vultures only Blowflies only Fungi only Bacteria only Vultures and blowflies only Fungus and bacteria only Vultures and fungi only Blowflies and bacteria only What do many ants do with colony members (workers, not warriers) that are severely injured outside the nest? Allow them to be eaten by predators, such as birds or small mammals Allow them to die outside the nest Carry them back to the nest and allow them to heal Carry them back to the nest and eat them Carry them back to the nest and put them in a refuse pile.
