Stages of decomposition, or stages of physiological/chemical responses that happen after an animal dies, such as rigor mortis.
What would happen if we did not have decomposers?
If we didn't have decompsers then everything below it in the food chain would be dead by now. The plants and insects that eat the plants. and the animals that eat the plants. but it the animal dies there wouldn't be decomposers to finish them. Which later then starve the carnivores. The grass will be overgrown and insects will produce drastically
How is food chain destroyed?
When the producer or consumer or in fact anything in it dies out or is removed then the food chain is destroyed.
What are primary consumers in the tropical rainforest?
Primary consumers are all the same even if they're in the oceans, rain forests, deserts, and arctic tundras. Primary consumers are animals that eat plants, so basically they're herbivores. They get the energy from the plants, and a secondary consumer (a animal that devours a primary consumer), comes along and consumes the primary consumer. After that, a "tertiary consumer" (an animal that eats the secondary consumer and barely has any predators), comes along and consumes the secondary consumer. Well, let's say that the tertiary consumer was a cougar. Since rarely any animals try and hunt the cougar, a "decomposer" comes along. A decomposer is any size, like an earthworm could be a decomposer, a hyena, and a vulture. Decomposers are animals (some are, but others could be fungi, moss or mold) and when the tertiary consumer dies, a decomposer comes and "breaks down" the tertiary consumer. I don't know what eats a decomposer (I think birds probably eat earthworms), so really decomposers are at the end of the food chain, and the producers (plants), are at the beginning. I hoped this helped ♥
What happens to energy as it flows through a food chain?
It keeps going until the consumer dies and decomposers take it down or when the food chain is removed or added to. It stays the same as long as nothing eats it

What food chain does the Chimpanzee fit into?
Chimpanzees are eaten by leopards, chimpanzees are in the middle of the food chain, they are omnivores so they can eat either fruits, insects or little mamals. You need to make up a food chain with this information told, with the animals you want. for example: 1 producers(it can be grass)..then a primary consumer that can be a (rabbit), then the chimpanzee (secondary consumer,) and then the leopard eats the chimpanzee, later when the leopard dies a vuilture(decomposer) eats the leopard.
What must happen if a population grows larger than the carrying capacity?
