All life on Earth exists in a region known as 

• an ecosystem

• a biome

Autotrophs are organisms that

• rely on other organisms for their energy & food supply.

• consume plant & animal remains and other dead matter.

• use energy they take in from the environment to convert inorganic molecules to organic molecules.

• obtain energy by eating only plants.

Why are decomposers necessary?

• Because we compose too much...

• To take basic materials and make them more complex...

• To take complex materials and break them down to basic stuff...
