Bacteria, mold, and other decomposers use dead material as an energy source.
There are many organisms that feed on carcasses of plants and animals. Jackals and Vultures and among them. There are also organisms called decomposers which break down the dead carcasses for nutrients.
scavenging is an example of an eater-eaten relationship because animals who feed on the dead animals may be eaten by other live animals when they are dead....For Example; Vultures feed on dead animals but when the vulture is dead another live animal will feed on it and when that live animal becomes dead another animal will feed on its dead body and so on...
Mendotrophs are organisms that rely on dead organic matter as a primary energy source. They play a key role in decomposing plant and animal material, breaking it down into smaller components that can be recycled back into the ecosystem. Mendotrophs are important for nutrient cycling and soil health.
Earthworms, flatworms, water lice, some fish, termites, and crabs are detritivores that eat dead and decomposing organic material. Any animal, or consumer, that eats insects can eat them. This includes birds, most bears, frogs, and any other consumer eats other animals.
Decomposing plant and animal matter, along with other dead material, are collectively called "detritus." Detritus serves as an important source of nutrients for decomposers in an ecosystem.
Gasoline, coal, or fossil fuels
dead material this is a question of my science homework ugh
The nonrenewable energy source that comes from dead organisms is fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These fuels are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that have been buried and transformed over millions of years.
Decomposer, scavenger or carrion-eater
it's decomposers
Decomposers.
decomposers.
Yes, it does not eat living things.
Consumer are organisms that eat other organisms.Decomposers eat dead body mass of other organisms making them consumers. I guess in a way decomposers are considered omnivores because they eat any dead body mass
An animal that consumes dead animals would be a detrivore; however, there are decomposers like bacteria and fungi that also utilize dead organic material for an energy source.
That is the correct spelling of "decomposer" (organism that breaks down dead material).
Yes. The amount of energy depends on the organism and how long ago it died.
