How do plants get nutrients from animals?
When the animal dies, it decaysand the nutrients from its body go back into the earth where they are absorbed by plants.
Why do animals need plants and why do plants need animals?
animals need plants because animals like deer depend on plants like grass(to eat). and plants need animals because if the animals did not eat the plants then the plants would become an invasive species. and then it would be hard to take back, or exterminate the plant.
Why are bacteria and fungi important to an ecosystem?
Microorganisms like bacteria and fungi break down dead organisms and release nutrients back into the soil for plants in a ecosystem Not much info but there you go, and they probably do more than that but oh well. Its role is also a decomposer.
What would happen to the plant population if the number of decomposers decreased?
The plants would not have enough nutrients from the soil because the decomposers are not around to decompose dead things and get the nutrients back into the soil.
Is fungi a type of decomposer?
fungi is a decomposer because it breaks down dead animals,plants etc. It gets nutrients from the dead things.
How do scavengers and decomposers help in recycling of nutrients?
Well, scavengers eat the decomposed organism's. After the organism has been digested, the nutrients are released through the scavengers stool back into the environment which helps to revitalize other plants and animals.

What do dead plants and animals eventually become?
They are recycled either back into more biological materials or back into their constituent elements (or compounds of these elements).
Why is decomposer important on earth?
The dead matter that they decomposed on can be placed back into the ecosystem as nutrients(:
Why is it important for dead plants and animals to be broken down?
It's important because when the organic life breaks down, it returns the nutrients back to the Earth and then the soil is more fertile for more plants or animals to live on.
Where do materials coming from dead plants and animals?
Every living thing will, on death, break down into chemicals (nutrients) that can be absorbed back into the cycle of life. Grass is eaten by grazing animals, the waste is dropped onto the ground and breaks down into fibre and nutrients. The nutrients then enter the soil and feed the next generation of plants and grasses.

What breaks down dead?
Decomposers break down dead material. They break down dead plants and animals and absorb their nutrients back in to the soil.
Do plants have a back bone?
Nope. Plants do not have bones. Only animals- and not all animals.

An animal that eats plants and animals how is it traced back to plants?
A.TigersB.Field miceC.InsectsD.All animals trace their energy back to the Sun
What level of a consumer is a animal if they only eat animals that eat plants?
Secondary consumers; it goes producers, primary consumers (herbivores), secondary and tertiary consumers (carnivores and omnivores). Then there are detrivores, which eat dead and dying plants and animals and recycle their nutrients back to the soil.
