Which non green plants eat dead and decaying plants?
Saprophytic fungi
How do decomposers supply phosphorus to soil?
Decomposers release phosphorus into the soil from decaying animals and plants. Plants can now take up the phosphates in the soil. When animals eat the plants, they then have phosphates in them and they are released back into the soil through waste and decompostion (decaying).
What type of rocks form from decaying plants?
Biogenic sedimentary
Are radioactive decay and photosynthesis the same?
No. Photosynthesis involves plants taking carbon dioxide and, using sunlight for energy, forming sugar and oxygen. Radioactive decay involves a single element (no sunlight, no plants) releasing particles and changing (decaying) into a different element.
What are fungi that obtain their food from the decaying bodies of plants and animals?
yes ,, deffo
Decaying plants add nitrogen to the soil is called?
Decomposition of organic matter from decaying plants adds nitrogen to the soil through a process known as mineralization. This nitrogen becomes available for uptake by plants, supporting their growth and development.
How do aquatic animals help aquatic plants?
Aquatic plants help to oxygenate the water - replacing the oxygen that's used by the fish - and the decaying fish waste.
Where does the oxygen come from that you are breathing right now?
oxygen can be formed by the electrolysis of water, or by chemical reactions Oxygen is present in air, about 19% by volume, but it is not formed there. Most oxygen is naturally formed in green plants and algea by photosynthesis.
How do decaying organisms in a swamp help create the next generation of organisms?
Decaying organisms in a swamp release nutrients into the soil, which promotes the growth of plants. These plants provide food and habitat for various organisms, laying the foundation for the next generation of species in the ecosystem. Additionally, decomposers break down the decaying matter, recycling nutrients and making them available for new life forms.
How is oxygen made available?
plants and trees inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. The opposite of humans.
How are coal deposits formed?
Coal deposits are formed from the remains of plants that were buried and compressed over millions of years in swampy environments with little oxygen. As pressure and heat increase with burial, the organic material undergoes chemical and physical changes, eventually forming coal. The type of coal formed depends on factors such as the original plant material, depth of burial, and temperature.
What do plants exrete?
plants exrete carbon dioxide in the night time and exrete oxygen when light is available
These plants are found on the forest floor they grow on dead and decaying plants which are these plants?
saprophytic plants
What insect eats decaying plants?
Termites
Where did the energy come from to create oil?

Is oxygen formed in nature?
Oxygen is not formed in nature, but rather it is produced through processes such as photosynthesis by plants and cyanobacteria. These organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen as a byproduct. Oxygen can also be released through chemical reactions in the Earth's atmosphere.
