Describe one common role of both bacteria and fungi in the movement of energy and matter in ecosystems

1 answer:

8 0

Both fungi and bacteria are very important for decomposition of organic matter. Decomposition is the break down of dead or decaying organisms. This allows nutrients from all trophic levels to re-enter the soil to be used by primary producers. Fungi are more effective decomposers compared to bacteria as they can use their hyphae to penetrate larger pieces of organic matter, whereas bacteria are restricted to exposed surfaces.

Explanation:

Protists can be defined as any group of eukaryotic organisms that belongs to the kingdom protista and are not plant, animal or fungus.

These are the six (6) groups of protists;

A. Archaeplastida: have a cell wall and both an outer and an inner membrane. There are no membraneous organelles in this group.

B. Excavata: have a feeding groove on one side and are usually single-celled. Members include organisms with heterotrophic, photosynthetic, parasitic, or symbiotic lifestyles.

C. Amoebozaons: use pseudopodia to move and may be either single-celled or multicellular. Members within this group exhibit free-living and parasitic lifestyles.

D. Stramenopiles: have a tinsel flagellum and are photosynthetic.

E. Rhizarians: have elaborate tests composed of calcium carbonate, silicon, or strontium salts. Members have thin pseudopodia that project from the test.

F. Alveolates: have membrane-enclosed sacs beneath the plasma membrane. There are photosynthetic and heterotrophic members in this group.
