Consumers change the sun’s energy so it is useful for decomposers.

Detailed explanation-1: -Consumers take in food by eating producers or other living things. Decomposers break down dead organisms and other organic wastes and release inorganic molecules back to the environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Producers, consumers, and decomposers are organisms within ecosystems that are classified based on how they gain their nutrition. Producers such as plants make their own food, consumers such as animals eat plants and animals, and decomposers such as bacteria and fungi break down dead organic matter.
Detailed explanation-3: -A consumer is an animal that gets its energy by eating plants or other animals. A decomposer is a living thing that feeds on and breaks down dead and decaying plants and animals. Some examples of decomposers include earthworms and bacteria.
Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposers feed on dead things: dead plant materials such as leaf litter and wood, animal carcasses, and feces. They perform a valuable service as Earth’s cleanup crew.
Detailed explanation-5: -producers turn sunlight into energy that is used in the ecosystem. Consumers eat the producers and help keep populations from becoming too large. Decomposers break down dead organisms and wastes into materials that can be used again by other organisms in the ecosystem.
