Microbes as Decomposers: Bacteria, Fungi and Nutrient Recycling: a 3D model for Class 8 Science, covering Bacteria reproduce only from existing cells: one cell grows, pinches in and splits into two daughter cells (binary…, Microbes do not appear spontaneously from dead or spoiled material; they arrive as cells or spores, Population growth is limited by nutrients and space; when nutrients run out, division stops, Fungi are another group of decomposers; their thread-like hyphae spread through dead material and the mushroom is only…, Decomposers break dead leaves into smaller pieces over weeks to months….
