Decomposers are bacteria or fungus which consumes or feeds off the dead remains of the plant or animal.They help to bring back nutrients from the organism to soil i.e Earth which is useful for plants.
And cycle goes on and on, animal eats plant and they nutrients come back into soil.
It fits at the end of the food web, right before the producers.
Decomposers play a very important role in the food web as they are responsible for the recycling of all the nutrients and they put these nutrients back into the earth/soil for plants to use. (They basically recycle all dead matter for plants to grow. Next, the consumers will eat the plants, and the secondary consumers will eat the tertiary consumers. Later, they all eventually die and this is where the decomposers come in to 'recycle' all the dead matter, which is used again by plants and put back in the food web in the form of nutrients, etc, etc... it goes on and on and on in a circle)
hope that helped :D
Decomposers make nitrogen that is used by plants. Plants use nitrogen to produce protein and nucleic acids. They absorb the nitrogen through the roots.
No. Producers make their own food. Decomposers feed on dead material and waste.
Near the bottom, above the producers (eg. trees) for that is what they decompose, so there must be something below them.
The decomposers play the part of being consumed by the consumres.
any dead matter any dead matter
make good soil for plants
The producers (plants), the consumers (animals) and the decomposers (bacteria) use the food chain.
they each use plants for energy or use it to gain food or make food
they each use plants for energy or use it to gain food or make food
Decomposers use dead plants and animals as their food. Decomposers are not carnivores because they do not kill the animals; the animals are already dead.
decomposers
Decomposers connect each end of a food chain.
Since decomposers are organisms that make their own food, I think cactuses are decomposers
The decomposers would run out of food (for them) to decompose.
They do not use photosynthesis. Also, they are decomposers when regular plants are producers. (Decomposers break down dead things, and producers produce their own food)
which organisms in your food web are decomposers
Energy is transferred betweenproducers to consumers and decomposers in the food chain.
Decomposers, such as fungi and some bacteria, use waste products (feces) from other organisms and other the dead bodies of other organisms as food.
