What name is given to organisms that convert the carbon in organic compounds into carbon in carbon dioxide?
decomposers.....
2. Which of the following organisms can make their own organic carbon molecules (like sugar) entirely from inorganic carbon sources (like carbon dioxide) A. decomposers B. heterotrophs C. consumers D. carnivores E. producers?
E. Producers
Can carbon containing molecules create sulfur?
No, they cannot.
When decomposers break down dead organisms they produce what that can enrich the soil?
carbon dioxide and water
What four organic molecules common to organisms?
Organisms are composed of organic, that is carbon containing molecules. Glucose (C6H12O6) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), carbon dioxide (CO2), and DNA/RNA macromolecules are such organics.
When decomposers break down the carbon-containing molecules in dead organisms?
carbon dioxide is released
When decomposers break down the molecules in dead organisms?
carbon
When decomposers break down the carbon-containing molecules in dead?
carbon dioxide is released
Heterotrophs get carbon-containing molecules by?
feeding on other organisms.
Are decomposers important in the carbon cycle?
Decomposers return non-living (like organic wastes) and deceased organic matter to the ecosystem by consuming them for energy and producing organic material through biosynthesis that can be used by other organisms. Essentially, large carbon-containing compounds are decomposed into smaller carbon-containing nutrients, usually left in the soil.
What name is given to organisms that convert the carbon in organic compounds into carbon in carbon dioxide?
decomposers.....
Why are decomposers important to the Carbon Cycle?
When plants and animals die their bodies are decayed. This releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere where it can be recycled by photosynthesis. Decomposers are usully microorganisms (bacteria and fungi).
Decomposers break down dead organisms and produce?
Decomposers break down dead organisms which produce carbon dioxide and nutrients. These nutrients are then used by other organisms such as plants.
What is the role of decomposers in the carbon cycle?
recycle nutrients from dead organisms or their wastes
What is released when decomposers break down the remains of other organisms?
when organism is dead decomposers start to work, they cause the dead tissue to decompose. They break down carbon containing molecules and CO2 is released. Also Bacteria and fungi break organic matter down into inorganic substances. Dead plants, animals, manure-Ammonification-NH4+-Nitrification (NO3-)-Leaching (water soluble), Some bacteria in the soil use nitrate (NO3−) rather than oxygen for cellular respiration, they convert it into nitrite that's released into the soil or nitrogen gas that's released into the atmosphere.
Where did the name Organic chemistry come from?
organic refers to all molecules containing carbon.. organic chemistry is the study of all carbon containing molecules
Which organisms play a role in returning carbon to the atmosphere?
Producers, consumers, and decomposers.
