The bacteria feed on the waste and use the oxygen.
(Straight from a Science Book.)

What are some decomposers in Illinois?
Microscopic bacteria break down meat/waste from carnivores; actinolites, dead plants/waste of herbivores; fungi, fruits & vegetables.
What living things use waste gas?
Plants, Animals, and Bacteria
What is a bacteria's waste?
Oxygen is produced by plants and some bacteria in photosynthesis, while CO2 is a waste productof all animals and plants. Nitrogen gases are produced by denitrifying bacteria and as a waste product, and bacteria for decaying yield ammonia, as do most invertebrates and vertebrates.
What can break down solid animal waste to release methane?
Bacteria.
What are animals called if they eat dead plants?
decomposers like bacteria they also break up animal waste and dead remains of animals it makes nutrionts into the soil so that the plants can grow in rich soil
What do you think insects and small animals need to survive?
They need waste, bacteria, and plants.
How does bacteria in the soil help fertilize the soil for plants?
Bacteria in the soil break down organic matter into nutrients that plants can absorb, such as nitrogen and phosphorus. This process, known as decomposition, releases these essential nutrients back into the soil, enriching it and helping plants grow. Additionally, some bacteria form symbiotic relationships with plants, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use.
When animals excrete nitrogenous waste in the soil's certain soil bacteria convert these wastes into nitrate's which are absorb by plants these bacteria function as?
decomposers
How do bacteria keep the world free from waste?
The bacteria consumes or eats all of the wastes, that is how it lives.
How is animal waste decomposed?
Animal waste is decomposed through a process called composting, where microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi break down the waste into simpler organic matter. This process allows nutrients in the waste to be recycled back into the soil, enriching it with valuable organic matter for plant growth. Composting requires the right balance of organic material, moisture, oxygen, and temperature to be effective.
What group of microbes break down dead plants and animals and animal waste?
Decomposers
How does bacteria keep the world free from waste?
Bacteria play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter and waste materials, converting them into simpler compounds that can be used by other living organisms or returned to the environment. This process helps recycle nutrients and maintain ecosystem balance. By decomposing waste, bacteria help prevent the accumulation of harmful substances in the environment.
