If you mean decomposition of biological material, this is mostly done by bacteria which feed off the material.They are always around and will multiply when they find a source of food. Ultra violet rays in the sun's spectrum cause decomposition of many materials, like plastics, paints, rubber etc. Oxidation especially of ferrous metal is also a main cause if exposed to rain (ie rusting). Oxygen and moisture are present in the atmosphere.

What type of organisms will be able to use the energy stored in organic wasters?
decomposers bruh bruh
How do decomposers get their energy?
by eating dead things and decomposing food down :)
How many decomposers are there?
yes there is two types of decomposers. there are more then two the two that i know are decomposers and scavengers
What are some decomposers of the Black Sea?
There are many decomposers that live in the Mediterranean sea. Monk seal and the loggerhead sea turtles are the common decomposers in the Mediterranean.
Decomposers are helpful to the food chain because?
Decomposers are important because they break up waste and dead material.
How do decomposers get there energy?
Decomposers gettheir energy from the dead oganims. they break them down and get the remaining of its energy if there any left.
What is the sourc of all food energy on earth?
decomposers
What do decomposers obtain their energy from?
*
How producers consumers and decomposers obtain energy?
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.
Organisms that get energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms?
DECOMPOSERS
Do decomposers get all of there energy from the sun?
The sun is not a decomposer. Decomposers are living organisms.
How do decomposers difffer from producers?
Producers produce food using energy, and decomposers eat the remains of dead animals to get energy.
From which of the following can decomposers get their energy?
from the sun
Where do producers consumers an decomposers obtain energy?
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
Does energy flow stop with decomposers?
yes decomposers are the final stop of energy flow. they decompose the dead plants and animals and give outenergy
An organism that gets energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms?
it's decomposers
Are scavengers and decomposers part of the energy pyramid?
Definitely, yes. These two (The decomposers and the scavengers), are part of the energy pyramid. The decomposers is located at the bottom of the energy pyramid. Also the scavengers is located at the bottom of the energy pyramid.
