It must still give off oxygen untill the decaying process turns to compost thats rich in carbon to restart the cycle.

∙ 7y agothe carbon gets passed along to another animal who eats the human or animal same with humans if the human eats an animal they get carbon.
The carbon is and remains part of the organic matter making up the plant or animal. When eaten by another animal, it becomes part of the other animal. Otherwise the material remains on the ground where it remains and is consumed/processed by insects, mold, and bacteria and it becomes part of the insects/mold/bacteria until it dies. What is eventually left on the ground becomes part of the soil which nurtures growing plants, animals, and then the cycle repeats and continues.

∙ 11y agoThe organic matter of dead plants is used up by the microbes to convert it into inorganic form and thus carbon stored in them is recycled to CO2 gas.

∙ 12y agothe carbon can mix with soil and it can be exist and some are change onto a part of humus

Does algae break down dead plants and animals?
Fungi are responsible for the decomposition of plants and animals.
What do dead animals and plants eat?
Scavengers are what the animals that eat dead plants and animals are called. A vulture and starfish are some examples.
Who eats the dead remains of plants and aimals are?
Decomposers and scavengers eat the dead remains of plants and animals. Crows and vultures are examples of scavengers that eat dead meat.
What living things would be needed to recycle dead plants and animals?
Detritivores, Decomposers or saprotrophs(bacteria, fungi, and various types of worms) are organisms that feed on dead plants and animals and help recycle them by breaking them down into simpler molecules so that they can be absorbed by new plants.
What do fungi feed on?
Fungi feed on the remains of dead animals and plants.
How do decomposers get carbon?
decomposers get their carbon from dead plants and animals.
What happens to dead plants and animal after some times?
Dead animals and plants decompose after some time
What happens to dead plants and animals?
It is recycled by organisms known as decomposers
How does carbon reenter the carbon cycle?
Many ways:CombustionRespiration of Plants and AnimalsDecomposers break down dead plants, animals and animal waste into Carbon Dioxide
What happens to dead plants and animals in the soil?
Dead plants and animals in the soil decompose, leaving the nutrients in the soil so that new plants can be nourished and grow, thus maintaining the cycle of life.
When dead plants and animals decompose what happens to the matter that it made of?
When they die, they decompose and mix with the soil.
What happens when bacteria and fungi feed on dead animals and plants?
It gets ucky!
What releases energy from dead plants and animals?
carbon compounds reacts with water and form methane
What cycle turns dead plants and animals into fertile soil?
carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle
Why is there so much carbon in crude oil?
because the dead remains from the animals and plants contained carbon so the crude oil would also be rich in carbon
What is decomposting?
Carbon is returned to the earth and released into the atmoshpere through the decay of plants and animals. Decomposers, such as fungi and bacteria, break down the carbon compounds in dead animals and plants and convert the carbon into carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen, or methane if oxygen is not present.
What do you think will happen to the carbon is the dead bodies of plants and animals if anaerobic respiration does not take place?
