Decomposers break down dead organisms, which turns them into fertilizers that can aid plant growth and return the energy to the food chain, and thus provides more food and energy for animals (consumers). When the plants and animals die, they themselves are decomposed, and the cycle begins again.

How does producers help us?

What is the role of producers consumers and decomposers in an ecosystem?

Producers capture energy and stores it in food. Consumers get their energy by eating other organisms. Decomposers decomposes the consumers, producers and waste materials to products that are again useful for producers. Thus, consumers do not actually have a role, while producers and decomposers do.


How do decomposers relate to producers and consumers?

How decomposers help producers?

Decomposers release the nutrients locked up in organic matter. As plants (and other producers) grow, they take up nutrients from the environment and turn it into biomass. Decomposers break down biomass and release the nutrients back into the environment where they can be taken up again by producers.


How do decomposers help an environment?

Decomposers speed the process of decay of organic matter, releasing nutrients from said matter into the atmosphere and soil to be taken up by plants (producers) which will then be eaten by consumers.


Is soil bacteria producers consumers or decomposers?

Oh, dude, soil bacteria are like the ultimate recyclers. They're the decomposers of the earth, breaking down organic matter into nutrients for plants to use. So yeah, they're not producers or consumers, they're just chilling in the soil, doing their thing.


Do producers convert sunlight into energy or decomposers recycle energy as heat or consumers capture energy from sunlight or fungi eat plants to obtain energy?

producers use sunlight , water , and carbon dioxide to make a natural sugar called glucose. when producers and consumers die decomposers break down the remains of the dead animal or plant which enriches our soil to help our plants grow better. consumers eat other living things because they can't make their own food like the producers.In a food chain the first consumer is called the primary consumer because it's the first one that has to eat something else.


Are flatworms decomposers?

Inchworms are not decomposers. They are consumers.


How do decomposes help producers?

Decomposers release the nutrients locked up in organic matter. As plants (and other producers) grow, they take up nutrients from the environment and turn it into biomass. Decomposers break down biomass and release the nutrients back into the environment where they can be taken up again by producers.


Is a frog a decomposer?

No frogs are not decomposers, they are consumers. Decomposers make things rot, in other words they break down and recycle dead things. They help turn dead stuff into good fertile soil. Bacteria and fungi are decomposes because they decompose or break down dead stuff in the environment. Producers like plants produce their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Consumers include things like frogs, humans, rabbits, and any other animal that eat other animals and plants.


How do producers and consumers help each other?

because producers buy the food and consumers taste it so that when they trade with other companies they will know if they haven't given any rotten food.
