forms the humus and provide nutrients to the growing plant
Detritivores feed on dead plant and animal remains.
The remains of an animal. -------------------------- Fossils are the remains of a dead plant or animal that have been preserved for a long time.
the carbon gets passed along to another animal who eats the human or animal same with humans if the human eats an animal they get carbon. The carbon is and remains part of the organic matter making up the plant or animal. When eaten by another animal, it becomes part of the other animal. Otherwise the material remains on the ground where it remains and is consumed/processed by insects, mold, and bacteria and it becomes part of the insects/mold/bacteria until it dies. What is eventually left on the ground becomes part of the soil which nurtures growing plants, animals, and then the cycle repeats and continues.
