What are organisms called that obtain nutrients by breaking down dead and decaying plans and animals?
bacteriaThey are decomposers
What is the stability of an ecosystem depends on its producers and decomposers?
Producers make food for most organisms: they depend on them for their survival. Decomposers deliver nutrients back inot the soil and decompose dead/decaying animals/plants.
Multicellular organisms that have cells containing nuclei and that absorb nutrients from their surroundings after breaking them down with digestive juices?
Multicellular organisms that have cells containing nuclei and absorb nutrients from their surroundings after breaking them down with digestive juices are called multicellular eukaryotes. These organisms include animals, fungi, and some protists. They use various methods, such as ingestion, to take in food and enzymes to break it down for absorption by their cells.
What is the role for a decomposer?
Decomposers eat things by breaking down this remaining organic matter by breaking it into pieces. Decomposers eventually convert all organic matter into carbon dioxide (which they respire) and nutrients. This releases raw nutrients (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and magnesium) in a a form usable to plants
Consumers that feed upon organism that other organism have killed?
Decomposers breakdown the dead things that no other animal wants and scavengers is organisms that eat dead animals or decaying plants. During transformation bacteria eats the dna and nutrients of other dead bacteria that is floating around.
Organisms that contain nutrients by breaking down dead and decaying plants and animals are called?
Decomposers, like fungi and bacteria.
What are organisms called that obtain nutrients by breaking down dead and decaying plans and animals?
bacteriaThey are decomposers
What is the process in which nutrients in dead organisms that are returned to the soil?
One of the most important aspects of soil is the decaying remains of animals. The nutrients that come from the bodies are what help plants grow.
What organic material is in soil?
This organic material is made up of living organisms such as plants and animals, dead plants and animals, and nutrients that have come from decomposed plants and animals.
What happen to the decaying plants and animals?
it mixes up with soil and the soil rich in nutrients
What adds nutrients to the soil by recycling decaying plants and animals into something new?
worms

How are nutrients trapped in the dead remains of planta and animals?
By the decomposers breaking down the dead bodies and faeces of organisms(In the process of decomposition).Then carbon dioxide is produced(In process of combustion).
How are animals and plants interdependented?
Plants use the decaying remains of animals for nutrients. Animals use plants for nutrients and air. Plants also need air in order to survive. Air uses plants to be produced. -CO
How does decaying organisms help in a swamp?
it helps by feeding the fish or animals that eat it and they clean the water when they eat it
Are hawks desert decomposers?
lol! although the hawks eat up the dead bodies of other animals they are not decomposers because Decomposers (or saprotrophs) are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so carry out the natural process of decomposition in giving back nutrients to the autotrophs.
