Bacteria. Yes, but much of it can't be broken down and it is passed in the feces.
Tooth enamel is broken down when bacteria feed off the sugars on your teeth. Their waste is the acid that breaks down your enamel.
In your stomach, where all food is broken down into bits.
Viruses, bacteria, and old organelles that a cell ingests are broken down in the lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing digestive enzymes that break down these foreign particles or damaged organelles into simpler molecules that can be recycled by the cell.
Nitrogen can be broken down through a process called nitrogen fixation, where certain bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into compounds like ammonia that plants can use. Another way nitrogen can be broken down is through denitrification, where other bacteria convert nitrates back into atmospheric nitrogen gas.
Ammonia in the environment is broken down by bacteria through a process called nitrification.
When an organism dies, it is broken down into nutrients by bacteria, which can be absorbed by plants.
first the organism is broken down in to inorganic moleculs, then denitryfing bacteria breaks this down and lets the nitrogen be released back to the atmosphere. the denitryfing bacteria is usaully cyno-bacteria(blue green bacteria)
Yes, bacteria is a decomposer. Any remains of a dead animal ( the died body) not eaten yet by a consumer, is broken down by bacteria ( the decomposer) and fungi that live in the soil.
