producers and decomposer. producers use the minerals and nuteients from the dead animal and grow from that. then the comsumers eat them and so on. Decomposers also eat the dead and do the same thing

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 is a food chain of hurricane?
Food chains only include living organisms, plants and animals. A hurricane is not a living organism.
What organisms in the food chain are consumers?
which organism is a consumer D a blade of grass
Why are decomposer helpful to the food chain?
Because decompose animals had nutrients. And when it was burried in land. The nutrients of the decayed animals and plants goes to the soil itself. So, when someone plant a plants, the nutrients of the decomposer will eventually go to the plants in order them to had a strong stem. And to have many fruits. That fruits will eat by the animals and human beings. So, decomposed materials are too helpful. :P
How sun is useful to plants?
The Flow of Energy Through Plants and Animals The energy flow through living organisms starts with sunlight and photosynthesis, then travels through the food chain in bite sized chunks. Primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers are all part of the food chain.
Why is it not possible to classify organisms as omnivores in a food chain?
no because all organisms have to be plants or animals
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 is a system in which plants and animals feed upon other organisms?
Food Chain.
What if plants never existed?
Plants are the basis of all living things. Animals like humans and cows, as well as bacteria need plants to live. Plants are near the bottom of the food chain, lower ranked animals use plants to obtain their nutrients, and higher ranked organisms use those organisms to obtain nutrients, and so forth. Even those at the top of the food chain (apex-predators) sometimes obtain nutrients directly from plants. Bacteria need to go through nitrogen fixation.Also, plants provide oxygen, which many organism need to live; without it, many species would perish and die at an alarming rate.So basically, Earth would go back to its simplest form, where only the slightest of organisms existed.
Why would no other organisms have energy if plants were destroyed?
Because plants are at the bottom of the food chain and it they didn't provide food for other animals the whole food chain would die
What types of organisms are called consumers are?
Mostly omnivores and carnivores. Herbivores might be, but they only eat plants. Then again, they do eat things. So herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.
What is a food chain of hurricane?
Food chains only include living organisms, plants and animals. A hurricane is not a living organism.
What organisms in the food chain are consumers?
which organism is a consumer D a blade of grass
Which organisms in the food chain use solar energy as its main source of energy?
Everything in the food chain uses solar energy. Plants use it to grow and to make it's food. Animals need it because that is what they eat and we need animals and plants to survive.
Why are plants important to the survival of other organisms?
The reason why the food that plants make is important not only to the plant themselves, but to other organisms, is because the nutrients that the plant makes from photosynthesis not only helps the plant but other organisms that feed off of the plant and the plant's nutrients.
What is a primary consumers job in a food chain?
Primary consumers in the food chain are those animals that eat plants. They are, in turn, eaten by secondary consumers.
How organisms in a food web dependent from a nother?
An organism is any living thing. Not all organisms eat food. Plants convert light to energy and take in water and nutrients through their roots. Animals ingest. Fungi use a root like system to obtain food.becouse it is important to the food chain
