decomposers
Decayed substances are commonly referred to as decomposed organic matter or simply as decaying matter. Decay occurs when organic material breaks down into simpler compounds through the action of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi.
In science, a decomposer refers to an organism, usually a microorganism or fungus, that breaks down dead organic matter into simpler substances. This process releases nutrients back into the ecosystem, contributing to the recycling of matter.
After you die and your body decays, it is called decomposition. Decomposition is the process by which organic matter breaks down into simpler substances.
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, while substances are specific types of matter with constant composition and distinct properties. Substances are a subset of matter, and matter can consist of a single substance or a mixture of different substances.
The fungus is a decomposer that breaks down dead organisms to use as nutrients.
The process of decomposition by fungi, bacteria, and other organisms breaks down once-living matter into simple, energy-rich substances. These decomposers break down complex organic molecules in dead plants and animals into simpler compounds like carbon dioxide, water, and nutrients that can be used by other living organisms.
Matter is classified as mixtures and substances. Mixtures are composed of two or more different substances that are physically combined, while substances are pure forms of matter that cannot be separated by physical means. Substances are further divided into elements and compounds.
A decomposer organism is an organism that breaks down dead organic matter into simpler substances, such as bacteria, fungi, and some insects. They play a vital role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
ALL substances ARE matter
Some people divide matter into pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are elements and compounds. Mixtures include homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Some people divide matter into homogeneous matter and heterogeneous matter. Homogeneous matter includes pure substances and homogeneous mixtures (solutions). Heterogeneous matter is heterogeneous mixtures.
ALL substances are matter.
true for A+ :)
