The sun is not a decomposer. Decomposers are living organisms.
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.

The main source of energy for all three energy roles—producers, consumers, and decomposers—ultimately comes from the sun. Producers, such as plants, harness solar energy through photosynthesis to create organic matter. Consumers obtain energy by eating producers or other consumers, while decomposers break down dead organic material, returning nutrients to the ecosystem and relying on the energy stored in that organic matter. Thus, the sun serves as the foundational energy source for the entire food web.
Decomposers are typically found at the bottom of the energy pyramid, alongside producers. They break down organic matter from dead organisms, releasing nutrients back into the ecosystem. Their role in recycling nutrients is crucial for sustaining the food web.
I'm not 100% sure on this one, but I think the answer is energy (from the Sun). or decomposers, consumers and producers
Light to green plants ---> photosynthesis to make sugars which are used or stored.Primary consumers eat plants and use the stored energy as energy for growth, movement etc.Secondary consumers eat primary consumers and turn their stored energy into usable energy.Plants, primary consumers, secondary consumers (and the rest) die and are consumed by decomposers who take the stored nutrients and, well, decompose them.The fact that every living thing relies on plant material as a starting point for nutrition, and plants rely on the sun to create that nutrition should answer your question.
The sun is not a decomposer. Decomposers are living organisms.
The source of all energy is the Sun.
Decomposers get their energy from breaking down dead organic matter, such as leaves, plant material, and animal carcasses. They break down these materials into simpler compounds through processes like decay and decomposition, releasing nutrients back into the ecosystem.
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.
