Fungi primarily feed on organic matter by breaking down complex substances through enzymatic processes, often decomposing dead plant and animal material. They can also form symbiotic relationships, such as mycorrhizae with plants, where they access nutrients from the host. Bacteria, on the other hand, have diverse feeding strategies; some are decomposers that break down organic matter, while others can be autotrophic, using sunlight or inorganic substances for energy. Both play crucial roles in nutrient cycling within ecosystems.

What are bacteria called that feed on dead animals?
Bacteria that feed on dead animals are called saprophytic bacteria. They play an important role in decomposition by breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the environment.
What do fungi and bacteria grow from?
fungi and bacteria grow from spores.
What do fungi feed from?

What eats consumers Carnivore herbivore bacteria or Fungi?
Consumers are typically eaten by carnivores in a food chain. Carnivores feed on other animals, while herbivores eat plant materials. Bacteria and fungi play a role in decomposing organic matter after consumers have died.
Is true bacteria and fungi are prokaryotes?
No, bacteria are prokaryotes but fungi are eukaryotes. Fungi have a distinct nucleus enclosed within a membrane, while bacteria do not have a nucleus and their genetic material is located in the cytoplasm.
What happens when bacteria and fungi feed on dead animals and plants?
It gets ucky!
What do yellow slime molds feed on?

Explain how fungi and bacteria are some decomposers in a desert?
Fungi and bacteria work by recycling dead organisms and putting their nutrients back in to the soil in the desert. They feed on the dead organism and help to keep the ecosystem balanced.
What is bacteria eaten by?
the animals that eat bacteria and fungi are mice, rats and squirrel. Badgers, rabbits, pigs an deer also eat bacteria and fungi.
What do fungi and bacteria grow from?

What are the decomposers in a hot desert?
A common misconception is that the main decomposers in deserts are Dung beetle and termites..... Dung beetles and termites are detritivores which means they feed on dead organic matter (like "dung"). The main decomposers in a desert ecosystem as in any are bacteria and fungi.
What Feeds on animal tissues?
Micro-organisms, bacteria and fungi are decomposers that can feed on animal tissues. Also, carnivores (meat eaters) feed on animal tissues.
