What else can I help you with?
If a mouse dies and is not eaten by an owl how do the nutrients from the mouse go back into the food chain?
The answer is quite simple. The mouse will be decomposed into nutrients by bacteria or saprophytes and when rain falls, it dissolves into water which will then be absorbed by a plant. And then the plant photosynthesis and the whole process will repeat.
Does the Nerf Vulcan chain have holes in the back?
Yes it is si carrots can be eaten throughout it!
How does cycling of matter effect the food chain?
The cycling of matter in the ecosystem is essential for providing nutrients to the food chain. Nutrients are recycled through processes like decomposition, where dead organisms are broken down and their nutrients are released back into the environment. These nutrients are then taken up by plants, which are then consumed by herbivores, and so on up the food chain.
How do parts of a food chain interact?
Food chains interact because an organism can be in more than one food chain. When this happens, it is also called a food web. Ex.for food chain: plankton gets eaten by fish, fish get eaten by dolphins. Ex.fir food web: birds and squirells ear sunflower seeds, the birds get eaten by foxes, coyotys, eagles and hawks. Back on the squirells side, it gets eaten by foxes, coyotys, and eagles too.
What returns nutrients to soil?
Decomposition
How are round island day gecko teeth adapted to what they eat?
Geckos don't have teeth, they eat crickets and stuff like that for two main reasons: geckos aren't that big, epically as babies so insects and worms are the only thing they can eat, and to get the nutrients that they need, this is going back to the food chain the cricket gets the nutrients it needs by eating grass, then the lizard eats the cricket getting the grass and the cricket, which is eaten by the snake, which is eaten by the hawk, which is eaten by the coyote, which will mostly likely be killed by the human (hopefully not to be eaten by the human)
Where is there the least amount of energy in the food chain?
The decomposers at the bottom of the food chain have the least amount of energy because they rely on breaking down dead organic matter to obtain nutrients. These organisms play a vital role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
Which group of organisms completes the food chain by returning nutrients to the soil?
Decomposers, such as bacteria, fungi, and detritivores, break down organic matter from dead plants and animals. They recycle nutrients back into the soil, completing the food chain and supporting plant growth.
Where does a puffer fish fall in the ocean food chain?
It is eaten by sharks. Sharks attacks it quietly from the back. Not only by sharks, many sea creatures.
A marine food chain?
A marine food chain typically consists of producers like phytoplankton, which are consumed by primary consumers like zooplankton. These primary consumers are then eaten by secondary consumers like small fish, which are in turn preyed upon by tertiary consumers such as sharks or dolphins. Decomposers like bacteria and fungi break down dead organisms to recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.
Is every animal in the food chain?
Yes every living thing forms part of the food chain eventually. If a animal dies it becomes part of the food chain, because bacteria brakes it down and put the necessary nutrients back to earth.
How are matter and nutrients cycled back into the ecosystem from which they came from?
Saprobiants (or to you and me microbes) many different types do different things, but basically they brake down the larger chains normally into the soil, they're then taken up by plants which are eaten by primary consumers and the chain goes on! example of a few are nitrogen fixing bacteria in the nitrogen cycle.
