Decomposers are organisms that break down dead plant and animal matter, returning essential nutrients to the soil and ecosystem. They include bacteria, fungi, and detritivores like earthworms and certain insects. By decomposing organic material, they play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and maintaining soil health. This process helps support new plant growth and sustains overall ecosystem function.
Detritivores work to break down and decompose dead plant, animal and waste materials, before releasing them out into the ecosystem in the form of energy and nutrients. Detritivores consist of bacteria, fungi, earthworms, dung beetles and termites in the African savannah.
it is both animal and plant
This is similarity in structure of both animal and plant cell:Both plant and animal cell have a nucleusBoth have a cell membraneBoth have a cytoplasmBoth plant and animal cell contain ribosomes
That depends on the animal or plant in question.
a sucker
no they are not as they only help the decompose rs not they are not decompose rs
fungi and animals
dead
no
The structure of plant proteins differ from traditional animal protein.
nothing
Up to the sky in detritus.
Scavengers eat the corpes of animals that their species did not kill helping decompose the dead animal remains. Decomposers decompose the remains left from the scavengers.
No, they feed off of live plants or prey.
Yes, trees and grasses are decomposers.
termites are decompose-rs
They would decompose more rapidly that if there were not
