Worms primarily feed on decaying organic matter such as leaves, rather than living plants like grass. They help break down dead plant material, making nutrients more accessible for plants and aiding in the decomposition process.


How do decomposers supply phosphorus to soil?

Decomposers release phosphorus into the soil from decaying animals and plants. Plants can now take up the phosphates in the soil. When animals eat the plants, they then have phosphates in them and they are released back into the soil through waste and decompostion (decaying).


What are plants. they eat dead and decaying plants and animals?

Plants are living organisms that obtain energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by providing oxygen, food, and habitats for other organisms. They do not consume dead plants or animals for nutrition, as they have specialized mechanisms for obtaining nutrients from the soil and atmosphere.


What do carnivores herbivores omnivores and scavengers have in common?

They all consume organic matter for energy and nutrients, but they differ in the types of food they eat. Carnivores eat meat, herbivores eat plants, omnivores eat both meat and plants, and scavengers feed on dead animals or decaying organic matter.


What process that plants and animals use sunlight to make food?

Green plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food from sunlight. Only green plants can make their own food. Other plants (like mushrooms) and animals do not make their own food, but get nutrition from green plants (or dead green plants). Animals do not make food from sunlight. If they could, they would not need to eat.
