A heterotrophic eukaryote associated with the decomposition of dead organisms is a what?
Fungus
Why is it important to break down dead matter?
Take it this way: without the organisms decomposing dead animals, the world will be filled with dead animals. Plus, this decomposition of dead animals supply nutrients and minerals to plants as the process does break down complex organisms into simple material plants can use.
Organisms that feed on dead organisms for nutrients are called?
Decomposers_____________________OK...decomposers is correct, but a better term would be saprophytes.Saprophytes (or detritivores) are organisms that obtain nutrients from dead organic matter and thus assist in it's decomposition.
Decomposition is an important role of which organisms?
For fungi. Is important as an decomposer that break dowm materials. Food scraps, clothing, and dead animals are made of organic material. Fungi is often found on rotting logs, it breaks down these materials. Fungi an bacterias are nature's recyclers. :D
What are organisms that feed on dead organisms?
Many kinds of organisms live by feeding on dead bodies. In the process, their activities result in the decomposition of the body and the recycling of nutrients. The dominant groups of organisms involved in decomposition are bacteria, flies, beetles, mites and moths. Other animals, mainly parasitoid wasps, predatory beetles and predatory flies, feed on the animals that feed on the corpse. A dead body is therefore an ecosystem of its own, in which different fauna arrive and depart from the corpse at different times. The arrival time and growth rates of insects inhabiting corpses are used by forensic scientists to determine the circumstances surrounding suspicious deaths.

What proceed allows bacteria to recycle organic nutrients by breaking down dead organisms?
it's called decomposing (I think) because it breaks down from other organisms (hope this helps!)
What means decomposer?
De composers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so carry out the natural process of decomposition.
