they break down dead organisms to return the nutirents or materials to the water, soil, air, etc
they have the job of returning materials to keep the circle of life going and going

All the known living things are water-based. Also all the living things have the following features in common: 1. Living things are highly organized. 2. All living things have an ability to acquire materials and energy. 3. All living things have an ability to respond to their environment. 4. All living things have an ability to reproduce. 5. All living things have an ability to adapt.
Yes, all living things require energy to survive.
If you mean the 8 things all living things have in common, they are as follows: 1) All living things are highly organized and contain many complex chemical substances. 2) All living things contain one or more cells. 3) All living things use energy. 4) Living things have a definite form and have a limited size. 5) Living things grow. 6) Living things respond to changes in the environment. 7) Living things can reproduce. 8) Living things eventually die.
The central element for all living things is carbon. Carbon is the primary building block of organic molecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, which are essential for life.
Living things need food, water, shelter, and air to survive. These essential resources provide the necessary nutrients and support for living organisms to grow, reproduce, and thrive in their environments.
yes, because say a fox dies because it was hit by a car.its just lying there with its guts hanging out and a fly comes along.the fly starts eating it and becomes a decomposer. is a fly a living thing? yes.
The sun is not a decomposer. Decomposers are living organisms.
Yes, all living things depend on non-living things. For example: - A plant requires sunlight, soil and water, all non-living things. - An animal requires a habitat, so rocks, dirt, etc. which are non-living things. Even if the animal did not depend on these things, it would still need to eat other animals or plants and plants need non-living things to survive.
These organisms reduce dead plants and animals to their component compounds. Without them, the world would soon be buried in the remains of formerly living things.
Two kinds of decomposers living in the ground are bacteria and worms-almost all kinds.
because without them there would be dead living things all over this plant- science teacher (Kendall)
Decomposers
ONLY plants are producer ONLY fungi and bacteria are decomposers ALL other living things are consumers You need to ask yourself - is a Mollusk as plant or a fungus or bacteria, if not then Mollusks must be consumers.
All dead things will be piling up
Many insects are decomposers as they consume dead materials, but not all insects are decomposers. Honey bees would not be considered decomposers. Termites would be considered decomposers.
All living things are made of cells. All living things require and use energy. All living things grow, develop, reproduce and repair themselves. All living things produce waste All living things respond and adapt to their environment. All living things have a life span.
Many insects are decomposers as they consume dead materials, but not all insects are decomposers. Honey bees would not be considered decomposers. Termites would be considered decomposers.
