Decomposers

yes

yes they need water

no its no decomposers are things like fungi and bactiera

end

If nothing decomposed, life as we know it would end. When something dies, bugs, worms, and microscopic organisms break it down. They leave nutrients in the soil for plants to absorb. So without decomposition, all plants would die off, due to lack of nutrients in the soil. If all plants died, it would take very little time for a majority of life on earth to die off.

Good question. Firstly, producers get their energy energy from the sun through photosynthesis, creating or producing nutrients in the plant. A herbivore consumer can then eat it getting it's nutrients so, consumers rely on producers for their food but decomposers rely on a carnivore or omnivore (consumer) to eat some species of a consumer. The decomposer, lets say a earth worm eats and consumes the rest of the animal breaking it down to it's core nutrients. So I guess you could say decomposers rely on carnivores/omnivores to kill each other and herbivores, and herbivores/omnivores rely on producers for nutrients to eat.

yes they are, Millipedes eat decaying plant matter

ya

Consumers such as Caribou, Musk Oxen, Arctic Hare, and Arctic Ground Squirrels.

consumers:elk,moose,carabou,polar bears,artic hare,lemmings,snowy owl,grizzly bear,ermine

decomposer: liverworts,moss,earth worms.

producers:dwarf willow,artic willow.

Yeah

Decomposers are found in the soil. Fungi, bacteria and earthworms are examples of decomposers that eat dead plants and animals.

Some bacterias are decomposers, they break down wastes like dead/decoy organisms into food. They are important because some time on the ocean, oil spoil from ships happens, decomposer bacterias can clean up the mess.

Without decomposers organic detritus would build up to a level that would bury the earth in dead organic compounds. Think what would happen if in the fall all the dead annuals just kept piling up tear after year with decomposing. Soon nothing could grow because all the carbon would be looked up in this detritus.

In the outback, some decomposers include fungus weevils, termites, dung beetle, black Portuguese millipede, and earthworm. In the food chain, decomposers eat dead organisms or matter. Producers and consumers are some other levels in the food chain.

an aquatic decomposer is and animal that dies and it's body gives nutrience to the soilto make the soil healthy

They're biotic. That simply means they're alive.

no

Bacteria and fungi are decomposers found in nearly all biomes, including the desert.

NO. a decomposer breaks things down such as dead animal or even dead plants... emphasis on the DEAD

No, garden weeds are not decomposers. Their life cycles and natural histories lead them to decompose when their body parts break down. Their role in feeding chains and food webs more properly may be called that of producers that feed consumers in life and decomposers in death.

Both decomposers and consumers gain energy by consuming organic matter. A decomposer, however, only includes organisms that consume dead organisms, while consumers may consume any organisms, dead or alive. Decomposers are counted as consumers, but not all consumers are decomposers.

When these living things die, bacteria break down their bodies into nutrients completing the cycle

Scanvengers and decomposers are important in our environment because without these organisms there would be dead bodies laying everywhere on our planet because these organisms weren't there to break down the nutriants from the animal.

Some amphipods are detritus (a decomposer that live in water), but some are carnivore.
