Fallen leaves make up an important part of the horizon of soil?
Soil is composed of organic and inorganic parts. Inorganic is weathered rock. Organic is dead or decaying organisms called humus. Fallen leaves are part of what makes up humus. Fallen leaves (as well as all humus) are found in the "O" horizon as well as the "A" horizon.
What is an organic compound made up of very long chains of carbon compounds?
Organic compounds are generally composed of long carbon chains displaying covalent bonds.
The part of an experiment used to compare all the other groups?
matter
What is the main source of energy for the mushroom?
vitamins and minerals from the soil. while decaying things around it
What are the two main parts of matter?
The matter can be decomposed into two parts: - the first part is named electrocinematicoxyme or positive matter - the second and last part is named transvakineticase or neutral matter. This was demonstrated by Alibert Montrocq, a French astrophysicist in 1926 and is known as the dual experimentation of Montroq (entered the history with the wrong spelling, too bad for Mr Montrocq).
Is bedrock the part of soil that consists of decaying organic matter?
No, bedrock is not the part of soil that consists of decaying organic matter.Specifically, bedrock comprises one of six soil horizons or layers. Organic animal and plant matter decompose in the topmost layer and supply the layer immediately below with the humus content of A horizon's humus-mineral mix. Bedrock is found in sixth, bottommost layer which includes unweathered rock.
Why is humus called the organic part of soil?
The composition of animal and plant matter is the reason why humus is called the organic part of soil. Something organic may be living or once-living. It will be carbon-based, as in the case of dead, decaying, dying and living animals and plants in the soil food web that humus sustains.

A decomposer is an organism that gets its energy from?
decomposers are organisms in soil that decompose the organic matter in dead and decaying parts of plants and animals into oganic matter and carbon dioxide. thus the nutrients are returned back to the soil and help in plant growth. they play an important part in recycling of nutrients. example fungi and bacteria
What is any organic matter from plants and animalwaste that contains chemical energy?
what is any organic matter from plants and animal waste that contains chemical energy
Why do decomposers consume?
Decomposers consume because that's what their part of the food chain is. They are decomposers because they consume dead and decaying matter. They do not consume because they are decomposers.
