BIOSPHERE Autotroph -means self-feeding...uses chemical/solar energy to create organic matter ( CO2 + H2O--&gt; CH2O + O2 Heterotroph Decomposers -bacteria/fungi that take organic matter and break it down FOOD CHAIN &amp; ENERGY Energy is balanced through respiratory processes The food chain starts out with 100 units of energy and it is utilized by the autotrophs.
