How do decomposers supply phosphorus to soil?
Decomposers release phosphorus into the soil from decaying animals and plants. Plants can now take up the phosphates in the soil. When animals eat the plants, they then have phosphates in them and they are released back into the soil through waste and decompostion (decaying).
True or false animals get nitrogen by eating decomposers?
False. Animals do not get nitrogen directly by eating decomposers. Rather, animals obtain nitrogen by consuming plants or other animals that have already processed and absorbed nitrogen from the environment. Decomposers break down organic matter and release nitrogen back into the soil, where plants can then absorb it.
When animals excrete nitrogenous waste in the soil's certain soil bacteria convert these wastes into nitrate's which are absorb by plants these bacteria function as?
decomposers
What is the Name given to bacteria and fungi in the soil because they break down dead plants and animals?
They are both decomposers. This isn't a scienific name however. It is a scientific term.
What anomals are decomposers?
Some examples of animals that are decomposers include certain insects like beetles and ants, as well as earthworms and some types of worms. These animals help break down organic matter like dead plants and animals, returning nutrients to the soil.
How do decomposers supply phosphorus to soil?
Decomposers release phosphorus into the soil from decaying animals and plants. Plants can now take up the phosphates in the soil. When animals eat the plants, they then have phosphates in them and they are released back into the soil through waste and decompostion (decaying).
Are decomposers found in the soil water or air?
Decomposers are found in the soil. Fungi, bacteria and earthworms are examples of decomposers that eat dead plants and animals.
What role decomposers play in the phosphorus cycle?
Decomposers release phosphorus into the soil from decaying animals and plants. Plants can now take up the phosphates in the soil. When animals eat the plants, they then have phosphates in them and they are released back into the soil through waste and decompostion (decaying).
How do nutrients get into soil?
Decomposers break down dead plants and animals. They return the nutrients to the soil.
Why are soil with humus fertile?
when plants and animals die, their bodies are acted upon by decomposers. They become part of the soil.
How do decomposers obtain phosphurs?
Plants take up the phosphate ions from the soil. The phosphates then moves from plants to animals when herbivores eat plants and carnivores.
True or false animals get nitrogen by eating decomposers?
False. Animals do not get nitrogen directly by eating decomposers. Rather, animals obtain nitrogen by consuming plants or other animals that have already processed and absorbed nitrogen from the environment.

What are animals called if they eat dead plants?
decomposers like bacteria they also break up animal waste and dead remains of animals it makes nutrionts into the soil so that the plants can grow in rich soil
Does fungi help plants and how?
After dead plants and animals are broken downby fungi , the mush is left to fertilize the soil. So decomposers help the soil. So I guess the fertile soil is good for alive plants, so the answer is YES!
What is interrelationship of plants soil and decomposers in a forest?
Decomposers are the organisms that convert the dead plants and animals into humus. The nutrients released by the decomposers are taken up by the roots of the plants. In this way, the decomposers help in recycling the nutrients. This is how soil, plants and decomposers are interrelated in a forest.
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
