All living things contain carbon. When they die and decompose, the decomposition process makes carbon rich fossil fuels, which can be used to produce energy.

To make a complex process simple; to break down food and convert to energy.
Yes, living things can produce energy through processes like cellular respiration where they break down organic molecules to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency in cells. Plants also produce energy through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into chemical energy.
water is added
decomposers feed off it.
When living cells break down food molecules, energy is released in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process is known as cellular respiration and occurs in the mitochondria of the cell. ATP is the main energy currency of the cell and is used to power various cellular processes.
Oxygen is the gas used by living things to turn food into energy through the process of cellular respiration. During respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose into ATP, the energy currency of cells. This process releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
producers- a living thing that gets its energy from the sun ex. plants primary consumers or herbivores. Are living things that get their energy from plants. ex. rabbits secondary consumers or omnivores. Are Living things that get their energy from either plants or other animals. Ex. A bear tertiary consumers or carnivores. Are living things that get their energy from other animals only ex. a mountain lion decomposers. Are living things that break down dead organisms. ex. Mushrooms Note not to be confused with detrivores living things that eat dead things.
Living things use oxygen for cellular respiration, a process that produces energy in the form of ATP. During cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose and other organic molecules to release energy that cells can use for various functions.
