Decomposers in water?

Decomposers in water include bacteria, fungi, and some types of algae. They break down organic matter in the water, such as dead plants and animals, into simpler compounds that can then be used by other organisms in the ecosystem. Decomposers play a vital role in recycling nutrients in aquatic environments.


Biology cycling of matter and energy question Which is true Fungi are only decomposers Animals are only consumers Bacteria are only decomposers Plants are only primary producers?

Fungi can be decomposers, but some can also be mutualists or pathogens. Animals can be consumers, but some also play roles as decomposers or producers. Bacteria can be decomposers, but some also carry out processes like nitrogen fixation. Plants are considered primary producers, creating energy through photosynthesis.


Are microbes decomposers?

Yes, microbes are decomposers, specifically bacteria and fungi. They play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter into simpler compounds, which helps to recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.

How are decomposers involved in making butter?

Decomposers are not involved in making butter from cream/milk. However decomposers are involved in breaking down the grass that a cow eats. Cows can not digest grass/cellulose and to get the nutrients out of grass, the cow has 4 stomachs in which it ferments the grass using decomposers. It is the bodies of these decomposers that are actually the food for the cow and it is this food that goes into making the milk and cream from which butter is made.
