Carbon dioxide is the poison released by decaying matter. When animals or plants die, they decay and release carbon dioxide.
A saprophyte is an organism that feeds on decaying matter by secreting enzymes onto the decaying matter and then absorbing what the enzymes have broken it down into. Most saprophytes are bacteria and fungi.
The organism that obtains its energy from dead or decaying matter is a decomposer. Examples of decomposers include fungi, bacteria, and certain insects. Groundhogs, on the other hand, are herbivores and primarily consume live plant material. They do not obtain energy from dead or decaying matter.
No, fermentation is not a decaying process. It is a metabolic process where microorganisms convert sugars into alcohol, acids, or gases. Decaying involves the breakdown of organic matter by the action of decomposers.
Fungi convert dead and decaying matter into simpler compounds through a process called decomposition. This helps in nutrient cycling and enriching the soil with essential elements like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, making them available for other organisms.
Such organisms are called decomposers, which include micro fungi and bacteria . They decompose dead and decaying organic matter. An organism that decomposes decaying organisms leaf litter and other types of dead organic matter is called a saprobe, saprotroph ,saprophytic .
Carbon Dioxide.
Energy is released.
`Decaying matter normally goes to the ground but can be used as fertilizer.
Vegetables and decaying matter.
Decaying matter normally goes to the ground but can be used as fertalizer. Sometimes marshy water, (I think it was something like that) is made up of decaying animals of plants.
Only fungi feed on dead or decaying matter.

Decaying organic matter in the soil is called humus. When it is added to the soil deliberately, it is called compost.
