Where are most of the decomposer found?
Decomposers are an essential component of any ecosystem. Their main role is to recycle nutrients in dead organisms and their wastes
What are the benefits of decomposers?
They return nutrients to the environment.
How do fungi help to recycle nutrients?
they decompose dead organisms
What is one benefit of decomposers?
The benefit of decomposers is that these organisms get rid of waste and dead matter in the food chain. Decomposers are beetles, earthworms, fungi, and other organisms that feed on or break down decaying material. In ecosystems, they are important because without them decaying matter would pile up. Likewise, by breaking down organic matter, decomposers return nutrients to the soil.
If an organism eats decomposers is it a decomposer?
An organism that eats live or freshly killed decomposers is a consumer. That could be a rodent eating a mushroom or a bird eating an earthworm. If the decomposers that are being consumed are already dead and decaying, and if they are being reduced to basic nutrients, then the eating organism is a decomposer. It will probably be a bacteria or fungus or earthworm or fly maggot.
How do bacteria recycle earth's nutrients?
by the sunlight and its decomposers
To recycle nutrients the minimum an ecosystem must have is?
producers, decomposers.. That's it
What roles do maggots play in recycling?
Maggots are decomposers and help to recycle nutrients.
What breaks down down dead matter to recycle nutrients into ecosystem?
decomposers
The microorganisms that recycle nutrients by breaking down dead matter and wastes are cALLED?
Decomposers...
Which organisms recycle the organic molecules of dead organisms at all trophic levels and return their nutrients to the environment?
Decomposers recycle the organic molecules of dead organisms at all trophic levels and return their nutrients to the environment. These are often insects.
What role do decomposers play in the ecosystem?
Decomposers are an essential component of any ecosystem. Their main role is to recycle nutrients in dead organisms and their wastes. Most decomposers are bacteria and fungi. Without the decomposers, there could be no life, since plants would then run out of nutrients.
Why are decomposers important in primary succession?
They recycle important nutrients that normally would just pile up.
Name two kinds of decomposers and describe their role in nature?
two kind of composer's are nutrients soil and roots. there role is to allow living things to recycle nutrients
What is the role of decomposers in the carbon cycle?
recycle nutrients from dead organisms or their wastes
Where do decomposers get their nutrients from?
Decomposers get their nutrients from dead and decaying organisms.
Why are decomposers important to a community?
By having to eat all the bacteria of dead plants and animals
