Producers make food for most organisms: they depend on them for their survival. Decomposers deliver nutrients back inot the soil and decompose dead/decaying animals/plants.

Which living organisms are importants in ecosystem?

The living organisms that are dominant in a particular ecosystem depends on the ecosystem. In the rainforest for example, plants are the dominant organisms. In the desert, the animals are the dominant organisms.


Is a beetles producers or consumers or Decomposers?

A consumer, it depends on other plant/animals as a food source.


Is a draggonfly a consumer a producer or a decomposer?

A consumer, it depends on other plant/animals as a food source.


How does every consumer in an ecosystem depend on producers?

without producers, consumers could not survive because producers are basically plants, which herbivores eat, and then carnivores consume them, so it depends a lot on producers.


Which organisims are the producers in this ecosystem?

Well, it depends on which ecosystem. In most ecosystems the plants are the producers and the rodents and insects are the first level consumers. Plants like grass and weeds are consumed by field mice and other rodents.


Are leaves decomposers?

No, leaves are not decomposers. Decomposers are organisms like bacteria and fungi that break down dead organic matter, including leaves, into simpler substances as part of the decay process. Leaves are organic matter that decomposers feed on.


Food web stability is most dependent on?

diversity of species and interconnectedness of interactions. More diverse and interconnected food webs are often more stable, as they are better able to absorb disturbances and maintain balance in the ecosystem. Removing key species can disrupt the stability of the food web.


Is bacteria a herbivore omnivore carnivore producer or decomposer?

Bacteria can be producers or decomposers. As producers, they can create their own food through processes like photosynthesis. As decomposers, they break down organic matter into simpler substances to obtain energy. They are not herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores as they do not consume other organisms in the way animals do.


What are some decomposers in a pond?

Fungi and bacteria are important aspect of the ecosystem, and are known as decomposers. Decomposers break down materials that can be used by consumers, particularly zooplankton.


How is the sun used throughout the ecosystem?

The entire ecosystem depends on the Sun for its energy. Producers, mainly green plants, are at the bottom of the food chain in the ecosystem. The producers use the Sun's energy for photosynthesis, which converts the Sun's energy into chemical energy that can be passed on throughout the food chain. Therefore, every living thing in the ecosystem system depends on the Sun.


Are insect larvae decomposers?

It depends on the species. Insect larvae may be decomposers, predators, herbivores, or parasites.


How many number of species are there in a natural ecosystem?

The number of species in a natural ecosystem can vary widely depending on the size and location of the ecosystem. Estimates suggest that there can be anywhere from a few hundred to tens of thousands of species within a single ecosystem. Biodiversity is crucial for the overall health and functioning of an ecosystem.
