What are some examples of decomposers in an aquarium?
Decomposer: organisms of decay; a consumer that breaks down the bodies of dead organisms and the waste products of living things. They are also called saprobes. They break down the remaines of dead animals and plants, releasing the substances that can be used by other members of the ecosystem.Most decomposers are bacteria and fungi.
What Plant like organisms that decay to make acids?
Lichens are plantlike organisms that decay to make acids:)
What are the three products of radioactivity decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
What are three of the natural sources that give off radiation?
- Radiation of cosmic origin- Radiation from radioactive elements (and decay products) of the Earth- Internal radiation of organisms
What can many protozoa do that most fungi cannot do?
It's one of these:Speed the decay of dead organismsDepend on other organisms for foodProduce waste products harmful to peopleMove by themselves
What is responsible the decay of dead organisms?
Bacteria and other small organisms, such as insects are responsible for the decay of dead organisms.
What is responsible for decay of dead organisms?

Is decay a micro-organism?
Decay, in itself, is a process.However, decay is caused by decomposing bacteria, which are micro-organisms.
What does ununhexium decay into?
The decay products of ununhexium (after alpha decay) are isotopes of ununquadium.
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
What are the three products of radioactivity decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
Why do plants decay?
when plants die, they go through decomposition. types of decomposers are fungi and bacteria. they help to break dead plants into simpler substances like carbon dioxide, water and mineral salts. that is why plants decay.
