do decomposers use photosynthesis
The concept of producers, consumers and decomposers is interconnected with the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. It is important for students to understand the mechanisms of their own bodies, what interactions make them possible, and how they fit into a bigger picture (the carbon cycle).. Burning fossil fuels and wood releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. d. When organisms die their carbon containing molecules become part of the soil. The molecules are broken down by fungi, bacteria, and other decomposers. During this decay process carbon dioxide is released into the air.
