How does the rotting of food produce carbon dioxide?

Rotting food or other organics only produces carbon dioxide under aerobic (lots of oxygen) conditions. Under anaerobic conditions (little or no oxygen) the organisms decomposing the organics produce methane. Due to the other compounds i the organics the decomposition may also release sulfidic compounds. In any of these cases the microbial life absorbs a carbon compound and oxidizes it using whatever oxdent is handy o produce energy for itself and an oxidized carbon compound and water.
