A decomposer such as plankton, bacteria, or fugi, are not herbivores-plant eaters, carnivores-meat eaters, or omnivores-plant and meat eaters. So how do they get food and energy you ask. Well they break down dead animals into nutrients. The nutrients goes into the soil, and helps a new plant grow. You might have seen a vulture eating something on the side of the road or something, but that is NOT a decomposer. That is a scavenger. They get enerygy by eating dead animals. You might even say they are lasy because they eat animals that are already dead. They don't really do much work. Sorry if I over-informed you.
Yeast is a decomposer. Yeast breaks down organic material, such as sugars, through the process of fermentation to obtain energy.
No, a bean plant is not a decomposer. Decomposers are organisms like bacteria and fungi that break down dead organic matter, while bean plants are producers that use sunlight to produce their own energy through photosynthesis.
The three energy roles in an ecosystem are producers, consumers, and decomposers. ;)
consumer
An example of a decomposer is bacteria; another is fungi.
A decomposer gets its energy from the dead animals they eat

The platypus gains energy by eating other organisms, meaning it is a carnivore. A platypus is not a decomposer because decomposers gain energy by decomposing dead organisms.
a decomposer is the oppisite of producer
Producer- energy from the
A daffodil is a producer! (It is also an autotroph) It produces its own energy from the sunlight through photosynthesis, so that consumers (herbivores or omnivores) can CONSUME it for their own source of energy. It is not a decomposer; an example of a decomposer is different types of fungi. Hope this helped!

A clover is not a decomposer That's all i know
They are decomposers, they breakdown dead plants and animals and release nutrients into the soils for plants to use. Worms and bacteria are also decomposers.Producers include plants. They convert light energy into food energy that they can store for consumers to use.
Energy flows in one direction from producer to consumer to decomposer.
