Many bacteria and fungi are important in the environment because they recycle nutrients, making them available for other organisms.
DECOMPOSERS:
- Based on their role in the recycling of energy and nutrients in the environment, living organisms can be grouped as either producers, consumers or decomposers.
- Producers are organisms capable of synthesizing food on their own either by using sunlight (photosynthesis) or chemicals (chemosynthesis). They create the energy that is transferred in an ecosystem. Examples are green plants, algae etc.
- Consumers are organisms that depend on other organisms for their energy source or nutrients. Example include animals etc.
- Decomposers are organisms that degrade or breakdown dead organic matter, hence, returning nutrients to the soil to make them available for other organisms. Examples are some Bacteria, Fungi etc.
