Do Decomposers break down the bodies of dead organisms and recycle the materials in the food web.?
No. All organisms feed on inorganic matter such as salt. But decomposes break down organic matter.
What are valid food chains?
Dead mouse,flies,frog,snake
Where in a food chain do you find decomposers?
The bottom of the food web, usually bacteria or fungi. The break down dead organic matter.
Obtain their food from dead matter?
Fungus-like protists obtain their food from dead matter. Protists are eukaryotic microorganisms.
Why the fungi are called decomposers?
They sit on their food eg: bacteria, bread soil and absorb the food from their bottom
What is the role of decomposers?
also known as heterotrophs who break down organic matter.
What are ocean bacteria that break down dead fish and plants catergorized as?
Ocean bacteria that break down matter such as dead fish and dead plants are categorized as decomposers.
Why are decomposers so important in food chains and food webs?
When organic matter decomposes, it becomes fertilizer, releasing nutrients that plants need in order to grow. It is basically a recycling process. If this was not happening, soil fertility would become exhausted as plants continue to take minerals out of the soil.
What is a decomposers role in a ecosystem?
They break down wastes and dead matter.
