No, a spirogyra is not a decomposer. Spirogyra is a type of green filamentous algae that performs photosynthesis to obtain energy and nutrients. Decomposers are organisms that break down dead organic matter for nutrients.
Fungi can act as both decomposers, breaking down organic matter, and as consumers, feeding on living or dead organisms to obtain nutrients.
Yeast is a decomposer. Yeast breaks down organic material, such as sugars, through the process of fermentation to obtain energy.
Mushrooms are not producers in the traditional sense of the term. They are fungi that obtain nutrients from breaking down organic matter rather than producing their own through photosynthesis like plants do.
No, mold is not a consumer. Mold is a type of fungus that decomposes dead organic matter to obtain nutrients. It is considered a decomposer in the ecosystem.
No, corals are not decomposers. They are marine invertebrates that obtain nutrients through a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae living in their tissues. Corals are considered primary producers in their ecosystems, as they rely on sunlight and plankton for their food.
A living thing that breaks down dead animals and plants for food is called a decomposer.
The fungus is a decomposer that breaks down dead organisms to use as nutrients.

The main decomposer of tomatoes is bacteria. This is what will feed on the dead organic matter and release nutrients into the atmosphere.
