Is grass a organic matter?
As grass is or has been alive, yes. Organic matter comes from organisms, or things that are or have been alive as opposed to lifeless.
What is a organic matter?
Organic matter (or organic material) is matter that has come from a once-living organism; is capable of decay, or the product of decay; or is composed of organic compounds. The definition of organic matter varies upon the subject it is being used for.
Animal that eats refuse and decaying organic matter?
A scavenger is an animal that feeds on decaying organic matter and refuse. Examples include vultures, crows, and certain types of beetles. They play a vital role in recycling nutrients in the ecosystem.
What is science definition for scavengers?
Scavengers are organisms that feed on dead or decaying organic matter. They play an important role in ecosystems by helping to recycle nutrients and break down organic material. Examples of scavengers include vultures, crows, and hyenas.
What are bacteria that live on dead organic matter called?
Bacteria that live on dead organic matter are called saprophytic or saprotrophic bacteria. These bacteria break down and decompose the organic material, helping to recycle nutrients back into the environment.
Which isotope is used to date ancient such as fossils?
The isotope of carbon is used to date the ancient fossils. Since every living creature had organic matter and carbon is an integral part of that organic matter, it is conventional to use carbon isotope.
What is the science of fossilization?
The science of how fossils form: what happens to organic matter, its traces and the organisms themselves after death is called: taphonomy
Are fossils Decomposers?
No, fossils are dead, and have no biological action. Prior to fossilisation, an organism may have itself been partially broken down by decomposers, and the decomposing agents may themselves be fossilised (fossil worms, beetles and fungi are such examples).
What kind of sedimentary rock is made from the remains of organisms or fossils?
Clastic sedimentary rocks, like conglomerate and sandstone.
The remains of a once living thing?
Fossils are the remains of plants and animals that have been turned to stone.
What are the examples of fossils?
Fossils include any organic thing which has either made an impression which has turned to stone, or has had its body parts replaced by minerals so it is a stone copy of something. An example is petrified wood.
Are fossils minerals?
No, they are organic compounds.
What are the five types of fossils that can be found in rock?
Five types of fossils found in rocks are petrified fossils (minerals replace organic matter), mold fossils (imprint of an organism), cast fossils (mold filled with minerals), carbon films (thin layer of carbon residue), and trace fossils (evidence of organism's activity).
What do minerals not contain?
Minerals do not contain organic matter such as fossils, plants, or animals. Minerals are inorganic solids with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.
What rock is made of organic remains?
Fossils
Is porphyry organic?
No. For it to be organic there would have to be pieces of once living things in it such as fossils.
What are the bacteria that lives on dead organic matter?
Bacteria that decompose dead organic matter are called decomposers or saprophytic bacteria. They break down complex organic compounds into simpler substances, which can then be recycled in the ecosystem. Examples include species of Bacillus, Clostridium, and Pseudomonas.
