Decomposers, when they break down dead organic matter, release carbon dioxide into the air also. Decomposers are essential because without them, all of the carbon on the planet would eventually become locked up in dead carcasses and other trash. Decay permits carbon to be released back into the food web. Carbon is also stored in fossil fuels, such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Producers are organisms that make their own food using sunlight (photosynthesis) consumers are organisms that eat producers or other consumers and decomposers are organisms that return the dead organisms to their primary components such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide
No, a Turkey Vulture feeds on dead animals not decaying matter. Hope this helps!
I Have 0 idea what you're talking about
About as long as it takes for any small mammal to decompose. But this depends significantly on the condition of the body (e.g. have scavengers gone over it) and the environmental conditions (e.g. humidity, temperature, insects) around the body.
De composers make nitrates and other minerals from the plants and animals they decomposed, and this helps the animals live longer. The nitrates and other minerals are very nutritious.
hope it helps:p
Decomposers that break down dead animals and plants and that live in the desert include termites and dung beetles. Ants, bacteria, yeast, and fungi are decomposers that are found in the desert.
The FOUR soil decomposers are..
-Bacteria
-Worms
-Organisms
-Fungi
Sea animals the main sea animals that are decomposers are crabs and shrimp. Both crabs and shrimp comb the sea floor in search of things to eat.
They process dead matter down to the simpler substances that plants can use to synthesize fresh, new life. and if they were not living our earth would be filled with dead plants and animals and the jungles and every thing would stink
Detritus means any rock fragments or disintegrated material that has been broken or worn away from a larger mass. This breaking away may occur by accident or by erosion, through wind, water or glacial ice.
