Question 8 • PARTA - EOP: PGCPS BIOGEOCHEM CR (FALL2026) - 798113
Decomposers such as fungi and bacteria break down dead organisms and waste, so B is correct. As they break this material down, they return nutrients to the environment for other organisms to use, so E is also correct. Producing oxygen and making food from sunlight are roles associated mainly with photosynthetic organisms, not decomposers.
