I'm not sure if this is right, but I'm pretty sure it is waste compounds like unwanted food and such. You can be mad at me if it's wrong! :)

How do inorganic compounds break down?
Yes, they break when suitable amount of energy is supplied
What type of heterotroph absorbs energy by breaking down organic matter?
The organisms are detrivores such as bacteria and fungi. They break dead matter down into simpler compounds. The process of fermentation is one way in which this occurs.
All bacteria must use oxygen to break down food for energy?
Some bacteria are are-obs so they can survive even in the absence of oxygen. Instead they get energy from other chemical substances.
What breaks down foos and releases energy?
Bacteria helps you break down food along with your stomach acid. the process of respiration allows you to release energy. Resperation is the process in which food is broken down and energy is released.
What bacteria help break down rich organic compounds?
Saprotrophs describe the bacteria that help break down rich organic compounds. The term originates from the Greek words for "putrid" and "nourishment." They receive classifications for psychrophilic, mesophilic and thermophilic heat tolerances of 14 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 15 degrees Celsius), 59 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (15 to 40 degrees Celsius) and 104 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit (40 to 70 degrees Celsius) in composting and such scientific names as Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens.
What type bacteria break down inorganic compounds for energy?
Chemosynthetic
How do inorganic compounds break down?
Yes, they break when suitable amount of energy is supplied
What is a way of cleaning up a ecosystem using bacteria to break down harmful compounds?
Bioremediation
What bacteria is used in the production of spirit?
Bacteria are identified based largely on what organic compounds they can break down. The range of compounds used depends on the collection of enzymes a species of bacteria can make. Lipids are organic compounds that some bacteria can use for carbon and energy. The enzyme capable of breaking down lipids is called lipase. Spirit blue agar is a medium that contains a supply of lipids, and thus it allows us to determine the presence of lipase.
What is one way of cleaning up the ecosystem using bacteria to break down harmful compounds?
saprophyte
What type of heterotroph absorbs energy by breaking down organic matter?
The organisms are detrivores such as bacteria and fungi. They break dead matter down into simpler compounds. The process of fermentation is one way in which this occurs.
How do bacteria keep the world free from waste?
The bacteria consumes or eats all of the wastes, that is how it lives.
Carbon is important to life because carbon compounds break down easily and liberate?
Energy. :)
Why do bacteria play a role in the nitrogen cycle?
Some bacteria have the ability to "fix" nitrogen, that is they can utilize gaseous (atmospheric) nitrogen to produce organic compounds. (They can all break down compounds to free nitrogen too.)
What are two types of energy used to break down compound?
They can be broken down by chemical changes, or they form simpler compounds.
Does acid break down elements?
No. It can however break down compounds.
When decomposes break down the remains of dead organisms what do they make that can be used by plants?
All bacteria that are called saprophytes break down the remains of dead organisms. These bacteria recycle oxygen, nutrients, and other valuable resources that can be used over by other organisms. THE CORRECT ANSWER: nitrogen compounds
