Why does the flow of matter in an ecosystem stay constant over time?
because the decomposers spend back the energy to the producers
Organisms that get energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms?
DECOMPOSERS
Where do producers consumers an decomposers obtain energy?
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
Are scavengers and decomposers part of the energy pyramid?
Definitely, yes. These two (The decomposers and the scavengers), are part of the energy pyramid. The decomposers is located at the bottom of the energy pyramid. Also the scavengers is located at the bottom of the energy pyramid.
Are detrivores and decomposers autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Decomposers are types of heterotrophs. They are not able to consume their own energy through photosynthesis. They get their energy from the remains of dead organisms.
Why are decomposers essential to the health of ecosystem?
Energy flow in an ecosystem is cyclical. remove the decomposers and it becomes linear. Like a pirate's plank.

How do decomposers get there energy?
Decomposers gettheir energy from the dead oganims. they break them down and get the remaining of its energy if there any left.
What is the sourc of all food energy on earth?
decomposers
What would happen to the energy flow through an ecosystem if the decomposers were eliminated?
Nothing. There is a misconception that there is an energetic cycle in an ecosystems but that is erroneous. There is a cycle in nitrogen and other nutrients that decomposers engender and, eventually, plants absorb but there is zero energy content in those as plants take 100 of the energy from the sun. The purport of decomposers is to return nutrients to the soil, not energy. Energy only flows in one direction in the biological world starting and getting dispersed out by the different biological organisms until is thoroughly lost to the entropy in the universe. A decomposer is yet another organism that consumes the energy amassed by the plants from the sun and disperses it out.
What is the polar bear's energy role?
Polar Bears are top predators, they are at the top of the food chain and therefore at the top of the energy flow - only carrion eaters and decomposers will live of their bodies.
What do decomposers obtain their energy from?
*
How producers consumers and decomposers obtain energy?
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.
Organisms that get energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms?
DECOMPOSERS
Do decomposers get all of there energy from the sun?
The sun is not a decomposer. Decomposers are living organisms.
How do decomposers difffer from producers?
Producers produce food using energy, and decomposers eat the remains of dead animals to get energy.
From which of the following can decomposers get their energy?
from the sun
