Decomposers are microorganisms that break down complex organic matter into simple inorganic matter through chemical reactions. Decomposers such asbacteria and fungiscavenge dead and decaying plant and animal bodies and keep nutrients and energy circulating in nature. All living organisms are made up of c...
which Robb is hoping to shift on his farm, building a more balanced ratio of fungi to bacteria in his soil. It’s not that bacteria should be scorned; they too are important decomposers that collaborate with fungi. But it’s hard to beat fungi at its game,...
How might a food web change if all decomposers were eliminated from it? Using autotrophs, herbivores, and several carnivores, create a food chain. Then talk about what role decomposers play in the recycling of major nutrients. Describe the difference between the...
Step-by-Step Solution:1. Definition of Microorganisms: Microorganisms are tiny living organisms that are usually too small to be seen with the naked eye. They can only be observed using a microscope.2. <
wetlands) that comprise no less than 20% of the entire Amazon biome. Such rare studies have focused on the carbon cycle in the classical food chain, which runs from phytoplankton (primary producers) to zooplankton, fish and invertebrates (primary and secondary consumers, decomposers and detritivore...
What are some decomposers in the freshwater biome? What microorganisms live in the Arctic tundra biome? What animals and plants live in the sunlight zone? What is aquatic biome precipitation? What are the characteristics of the deciduous forest biome?
Phospholipid fatty acids and their compound-specific δ13C values were used to determine microbial community biomass and its composition and the assimilation of C from plants to soil microorganisms, respectively. While soil microbial biomass differed mainly between seasons, the microbial community ...
