What is interrelationship of plants soil and decomposers in a forest?
Decomposers are the organisms that convert the dead plants and animals into humus. The nutrients released by the decomposers are taken up by the roots of the plants. In this way, the decomposers help in recycling the nutrients. This is how soil, plants and decomposers are interrelated in a forest.
What eats decomposers in a rainforest?
In tropical forests all organisms are dependent to some extent on bacteria. Sloths will consume insects for the bacteria that provides them with needed nutrients.
How do decomposers contribute to the formation of soil?
carbon dioxide because decomposers are typical animals
What are organisms that break down waste and dead organisms called?
Organisms called decomposers or detritivores.
When animals excrete nitrogenous wastes in soil certain soil bacteria convert these wastes into nitrates which absorbed by plants these function are known as what?
decomposers
What decomposers are in the ground?
Two kinds of decomposers living in the ground are bacteria and worms-almost all kinds.
How do decomposers get carbon?
decomposers get their carbon from dead plants and animals.
What are decompers?
Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste (poop) of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.There are two kinds of decomposers, scavengers and decomposers.Scavengers are animals that find dead animals or plants and eat them. While they eat them, they break them into small bits. In this simulation, flies, wasps and cockroaches are scavengers. Earthworms are also scavengers, but they only break down plants.Once a scavenger is done, the decomposers take over, and finish the job. Many kinds of decomposers are microscopic, meaning that they can't be seen without a microscope. Others, like fungi, can be seen.Different kinds of decomposers do different jobs in the ecosystem.Others, like some kinds of bacteria, prefer breaking down meat or waste from carnivores.Actinolites only break down dead plants, including hard to break down plants and the waste of herbivores.Others, like certain kinds of fungi, prefer fruits and vegetables.GOTO:HerbivoresPlantsOmnivoresCarnivoresDecomposersPollinatorsEcodome

Is decomposer a carnivorous animal?
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.
What is the primary function of decomposers?
Decomposers break down matter from dead organisms into simpler substances that can be recycled in ecosystems. Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste (poop) of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up. GROSSS There are two kinds of decomposers, scavengers and decomposers.
