What are Plants and fungi that thrive on dead tissues of plants and animals?
Saprophytes are plants and fungi that thrive on dead tissues of plants and animals. They play a vital role in decomposition by breaking down organic matter into nutrients that can be recycled in the ecosystem. Examples include mushrooms, mold, and some types of bacteria.
What do dead animals and plants eat?
Dead animals and plants are broken down by decomposers such as bacteria, fungi, and insects. These organisms feed on the decaying matter, breaking it down into simpler substances that can be recycled back into the ecosystem.
What would happen if decay didn't happen?
Dead bodies, plants, etc. would build up in piles.Plants would run out of the organic nutrients that they need and can't make with photosynthesis and then die.When enough plants died the animals that ate them would starve. They would then die.When enough prey animals died the predator animals that ate them would starve. They would then die.Everything living would then die.But this is impossible as the decomposers (e.g. bacteria, fungi) that cause decay of dead things are only eating their "food" too. The more dead things lying around the more "food" they have and they would flourish.
Who eats the dead remains of plants and aimals are?
Many decomposers such as bacteria, fungi, and insects feed on the dead remains of plants and animals. They break down the organic matter, returning essential nutrients back to the soil in a process called decomposition.
Why is the decay important in an ecosystem?
Decay is helpful mainly because it prevents the ecosystem from getting cluttered up with dead matter, and because decaying matter provides an environment for the development of living organisms.
Microbe that causes decay or breakdown of dead plants and animals?
Fungi and bacteria.
What is least involved in the decomposition and decay of dead plants and animals?
plant roots
What process occurs on the forest floor that breaks down dead plants and animals?
That is the process of decay.
Did the decay cycle involves making new matter to replace dead plants and animals. true or false?
its true(:
When plants and animals die and decay do they become fertillizers?
decomposers are what breaks down dead plants and animals and cause them to decay quickly
What do dead leaves and plants on the ground form?
They turn into the soil they become part of the ground.
Does topsoil become richer as dead plants decay?
yes
Why do plants decay?
when plants die, they go through decomposition. types of decomposers are fungi and bacteria. they help to break dead plants into simpler substances like carbon dioxide, water and mineral salts. that is why plants decay.
What is primarily releases in a radioactive decay?
plants and animals die and then decay to release carbon compound in then
What is an oragnism that eats dead plants and animals?
For fact, I know that worms eat dead plants and animals.
What animals eat dead plants and animals?
vultures,halks but I'm not sure about dead plants lolz
What is the cause that remains of animals or plants decay?
Things called decomposers break down the remains of dead plants and animals. They help to recycle the things in the plants and animals that can be useful to other plants and animals. They are the most numerous organisms in an ecosystem. Examples of decomposers include bacteria, fungi, some insects, and snails, which means they are not always microscopic.
