Name three ways bacteria are helpful?

Decomposers are bacteria that break down dead organisms for use as food and energy sources. they break down large chemicals found in dead organisms into smaller chemicals that are then returned to the environment for other organisms to use. nitrogen-fixing bacteria change nitrogen from the air into forms of nitrogen that plants and animals can use. Bacteria play a large role in food production and spoilage, like pickles that are made from cucumbers and cheese. the negitave bacteria spoils milk. Bacteria are also used in medication. people with diabetes are unable to create their own insulin, but because of insulin-producing bacteria there is now an artificial supply for these people.
