What is the process of breaking down food into molecules the body can use called?
The process of breaking down complex food material and converting it into simple organic form is called digestion.
What are Multicellular organisms that obtain food by breaking down decaying material?
Multicellular organisms that obtain food by breaking down decaying material are called saprotrophs. They play an important role in the ecosystem by decomposing organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the environment. Fungi, some bacteria, and certain insects are examples of saprotrophs.
Why do dead animals and plants decay?
Bacteria and fungi attack the dead plant or animal and start breaking it down as their food.
What type of reaction takes place during digestion of food?
breaking down of complex food material to simpler ones.
What is it called when living things get their food by breaking down dead matter into simpler chemicals?
catabolism
What absorbs food from dead material?
decomposers absorb food from dead material
What Bacteria return nutrients to the environment by breaking down?
Bacteria use food like dead tissues for their own growth and reproduction and the rest becomes separate organic and inorganic chemicals that other organisms can use.
Does toadstool make food?
Toadstools are "fungi". Most fungi obtain their food by breaking down dead organic material and absorbing the chemicals produced.
What organisms get their food by breaking down dead organisms?
Decomposers (or saprotrophs) are organisms that consume dead or decaying organisms, and, in doing so, carry out the natural process of decompositionSapotrophs or (if a plant) saprophytes.
Organisms that obtain nutrients by breaking down dead and decaying plants and animals are called?
Organisms that break down wastes an dead organisms and return the raw material to the environment are called decomposers.
What does chemical digestion refer to?
Breaking down a material or substance. For example: When humans eat, they break down the food using chemical (hydrochloric acid) digestion, which breaks down the food into the core nutrients.
