Why are decomposers also consumers?
decomposers are also consumer because they get their food from other organisms
Organisms that obtain energy by taking in food are called?
heterotrophs
Are microbes decomposers?
Plants and their fruits are not decomposers. They are producers.
Which organisms play a role in returning carbon to the atmosphere?
Producers, consumers, and decomposers.
What is the role of producers consumers and decomposers in an ecosystem?
Producers capture energy and stores it in food. Consumers get their energy by eating other organisms. Decomposers decomposes the consumers, producers and waste materials to products that are again useful for producers. Thus, consumers do not actually have a role, while producers and decomposers do.
Which term describes organisms that cannot make their own food and must feed off other living things?
Consumers,decomposers,producers
Out of producers decomposers and consumers which has the highest number of organisms?
producers has the highest number and they are called autotrophs because they make their own food then the consumers are next which are called heterotrophs because they depend on other organism for food and the decomposers are on the top of the pyramid of numbers
Are detrivores and decomposers autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Decomposers are types of heterotrophs. They are not able to consume their own energy through photosynthesis. They get their energy from the remains of dead organisms.
How are decomposers and carnivores and herbivores alike?
Both decomposers and consumers gain energy by consuming organic matter. A decomposer, however, only includes organisms that consume dead organisms, while consumers may consume any organisms, dead or alive. Decomposers are counted as consumers, but not all consumers are decomposers.
Is diatoms a decomposer?
diatoms are producers, not decomposers. they are photosynthetic organisms
Is a dog a decomposer?
No, dogs are not decomposers. Dogs are consumers. Decomposers are organisms, such as bacteria and fungi that live in the forest.
A cactuses decomposers or consumers?
Since decomposers are organisms that make their own food, I think cactuses are decomposers
Why are decomposers also consumers?
decomposers are also consumer because they get their food from other organisms
What are organisms that obtain energy from the food they eat are called?
Heterotrophs or consumers.
How are decomposer and consumers alike?
They all take in energy. All diagrammed as a food chain.
How are decomposers different to consumers?
Decomposers are organisms that break down dead animals or waste. Consumers are live things that eat something.
What are organisms which depend on other organisms for their existence?
Heterotrophs. These organisms derive their food from autotrophs,that is, the plants. They include- Carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, scavengers, decomposers.
