What are decomposers? How do they “recycle” matter?
Decomposers are bacteria and fungi that break down the matter of dead plants and animals. They return some of their nutrients to the soil. They recycle matter by putting these nutrients into the soil where plants grow. Consumers eat these plants and use that energy to fuel their bodies. This cycle is always occurring and matter is always being recycled.

What is sun-producer-consumer-decomposer
Describe how decomposers enrich soil and help other organisms survive.

Explain why some organisms only live in certain environments.
All organisms have basic needs that need to be met in order for them to survive. Organisms can only survive in certain environments where their needs are met
