What is the role of a decomposer in an ecosystem?

• To break down dead matter and obtain energy storage molecules

• To produce glucose as an energy source

• To convert energy storage molecules into dead matter

• To create new organisms from dead matter

What is carbon?

• A type of atom that makes up molecules such as carbon dioxide and energy storage molecules

• A type of energy storage molecule

• A type of molecule that makes up carbon dioxide

• A type of molecule that makes up energy storage molecules

What are energy storage molecules?

• Molecules that organisms use to release energy

• Molecules that organisms use to store energy

• Molecules that organisms use to produce energy

• Molecules that organisms use to conserve energy

What is abiotic matter?

• Matter that makes up the living parts of an ecosystem

• Matter that makes up the nonliving parts of an ecosystem

• Matter that is found in both living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem

• Matter that is not present in ecosystems

What is an ecosystem?

• A community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment

• A group of people living in a particular area

• A system of government in a particular country

• A type of weather pattern

What is biotic matter?

• Matter that makes up the non-living components in an ecosystem

• Matter that makes up the living and dead organisms in an ecosystem

• Matter that makes up the physical environment in an ecosystem
