When plants and animals die their bodies are decayed. This releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere where it can be recycled by photosynthesis. Decomposers are usully microorganisms (bacteria and fungi).

Essentially, large carbon-containing compounds are decomposed into smaller carbon-containing nutrients, usually left in the soil.

What are microorganisms and why are they important?
Microorganisms and microscopic organisms. They are important to biodiversity because they act as decomposers in ecosystems that nutrient recycle and they also play an important role in the nitrogen cycle.
What is the continuous movement of carbon from nonliving environment into living things and then back to nonliving?
the carbon cycle
What cycle involves photosynthesis and respiration?
No cycle. Transpiration is part of the water cycle, and photosynthesis is what plants do to feed themselves.Carbon cycle involves both of them. Photosynthesis remove Carbon from atmosphere. Respiration release them back
What are some living components in an ecosystem that can be recycled?
Energy and matter-M
Decomposers play an important role in which matter cycle?
cycling of mattter is the amounts of nutrients available on Earth, it is to be recycled in order to ensure the extistance of biotics. After a plant or an animal dies, it leaves nutrients behind which is mixed with soil and becomes a part of the biosphere. The nutrients in the soil mixed with gases(o2...)is called nitrogen cycle.
What is importance of decomposers in the carbon cycle?
What affect does the burning of focil fuels have on the carbon cycle
What organism must be present for the carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle to function properly?
Decomposers
What are roles producers consumers and decomposers in an ecosystem?
They are all required to drive the carbon/energy cycle.
What are the roles of producers consumers and decomposers in ecosystem?
They are all required to drive the carbon/energy cycle.

What are the roles of producers consumers decomposers in ecosystem?
They are all required to drive the carbon/energy cycle.
How would the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle be affected if decomposers were removed from earth's biosphere?
because u can kiss my natural black but

What is the role of decomposers in the carbon cycle?
recycle nutrients from dead organisms or their wastes
What would happen if all the decompose-rs are removed the carbon cycle?
In the absence of decomposers from carbon cycle heaps of organic matter will accumulate. This will ultimately disturb the natural balance.
Which cycle is decomposition important?
The carbon cycle
Are decomposers important in the carbon cycle?
Decomposers return non-living (like organic wastes) and deceased organic matter to the ecosystem by consuming them for energy and producing organic material through biosynthesis that can be used by other organisms. Essentially, large carbon-containing compounds are decomposed into smaller carbon-containing nutrients, usually left in the soil.
