Organisms that obtain nutrients by breaking down dead and decaying plants and animals are called?
Organisms that break down wastes an dead organisms and return the raw material to the environment are called decomposers.
Why are decomposer helpful to the food chain?
Because decompose animals had nutrients. And when it was burried in land. The nutrients of the decayed animals and plants goes to the soil itself. So, when someone plant a plants, the nutrients of the decomposer will eventually go to the plants in order them to had a strong stem. And to have many fruits. That fruits will eat by the animals and human beings. So, decomposed materials are too helpful. :P
How many plants and animals are in the food chain?
A food chain typically consists of multiple plants and animals, with each organism feeding on the one below it. The number of plants and animals in a food chain can vary depending on the ecosystem and the complexity of the interactions between organisms.
What organisms in the food chain are consumers?
Consumers in a food chain are organisms that obtain their energy by consuming other organisms. This includes primary consumers (herbivores that eat plants) and secondary consumers (carnivores that eat other animals). Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food chain and typically consume secondary consumers.
What is the ultimate source of energy for most organisms and how is this energy captured so it is useful in a food chain?
The ultimate source of energy for most organisms is the Sun. This energy is captured by plants through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in sugars. Other organisms then consume these plants (or organisms that eat the plants) to obtain energy and nutrients.
How do plants provide energy and nutrients to other organism?
Plants provide energy and nutrients to other organisms through the process of photosynthesis, where they use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars. These sugars are then consumed by animals and other organisms higher up in the food chain for energy and nutrients. Additionally, roots of plants can release nutrients into the soil that can be taken up by other organisms.
Why is it not possible to classify organisms as omnivores in a food chain?
no because all organisms have to be plants or animals
What is a system in which plants and animals feed upon other organisms?
Food Chain.
Organisms that obtain nutrients by breaking down dead and decaying plants and animals are called?
Organisms that break down wastes an dead organisms and return the raw material to the environment are called decomposers.
Which group of organisms completes the food chain by returning nutrients to the soil?
Decomposers, such as bacteria, fungi, and detritivores, break down organic matter from dead plants and animals. They recycle nutrients back into the soil, completing the food chain and supporting plant growth.
Why are decomposer helpful to the food chain?
Because decompose animals had nutrients. And when it was burried in land. The nutrients of the decayed animals and plants goes to the soil itself. So, when someone plant a plants, the nutrients of the decomposer will eventually go to the plants in order them to had a strong stem. And to have many fruits. That fruits will eat by the animals and human beings. So, decomposed materials are too helpful. :P
What if plants never existed?
Plants are the basis of all living things. Animals like humans and cows, as well as bacteria need plants to live. Plants are near the bottom of the food chain, lower ranked animals use plants to obtain their nutrients, and higher ranked organisms use those organisms to obtain nutrients, and so forth. Even those at the top of the food chain (apex-predators) sometimes obtain nutrients directly from plants. Bacteria need to go through nitrogen fixation.Also, plants provide oxygen, which many organism need to live; without it, many species would perish and die at an alarming rate.So basically, Earth would go back to its simplest form, where only the slightest of organisms existed.

Why would no other organisms have energy if plants were destroyed?
Because plants are at the bottom of the food chain and it they didn't provide food for other animals the whole food chain would die
What organisms in the food chain are consumers?
Consumers in a food chain are organisms that obtain their energy by consuming other organisms. This includes primary consumers (herbivores that eat plants) and secondary consumers (carnivores that eat other animals). Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food chain and typically consume secondary consumers.
What types of organisms are called consumers are?
Mostly omnivores and carnivores. Herbivores might be, but they only eat plants. Then again, they do eat things. So herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.
What is the ultimate source of energy for most organisms and how is this energy captured so it is useful in a food chain?
The ultimate source of energy for most organisms is the Sun. This energy is captured by plants through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in sugars. Other organisms then consume these plants (or organisms that eat the plants) to obtain energy and nutrients.
