Soil organisms affect the nutrients available to plants. In a hard rocky soil,absorption of water and oxygen is minimal. In a fertile soil, availability of water and oxygen is maximum which help in proper growth of plants. Even where the sun rays do not reach the soil adequately specially in dense forest, the soil organism is not conducive to nutrients available for palnts' growth.

Decomposers break down dead organisms and produce?

Why do dead plants and animal affect the ecosystem?
Because plants absorb nutrients from the plants and animals.
Why the food the plants make is important not only to the plants themselves but to other organisms to?
The reason why the food that plants make is important not only to the plant themselves, but to other organisms, is because the nutrients that the plant makes from photosynthesis not only helps the plant but other organisms that feed off of the plant and the plant's nutrients.
How does pH affect plants?
pH affects the availability of nutrients.
Organisms that manufacture organic nutrients for an ecosystem are called?
Organisms that manufacture organic nutrients for an ecosystem are called producers. Most plants are producers, as they manufacture organic nutrients through the process of photosynthesis.
Microorganisms affect the quality of soil by?
They decompose dead plants and animals and nutrients to plants and the soil
What happens when organisms?
When an organism dies, it is broken down into nutrients by bacteria, which can be absorbed by plants.
What is the difference between a scavenger and a decomposer?
Decomposers- Convert waste into nutrients that can can be used by plants Scavengers- Go around and eat the remains of the already dead organisms.
Which is not a way that plants affect landforms?
by adding new nutrients to the soil
Is a camel an autotroph or heterotroph?
Camels are heterotrophs. Autotrophs are organisms that create their own food, such as plants. Heterotrophs are organisms that consume other organisms for nutrients/energy.
Where do parasites absorb nutrients from?
From their hosts. The hosts may be plants, animals or even micro-organisms.
