__Decomposition__

=
The book “Decomposers" by Greg Roza contained a lot of useful information about decomposition. The first section was about food webs. There were key words such as ecosystem, omnivore, herbivore and carnivore. We also learned about food chains, multiple food chains make up a food web. =====

We also learned about detritivores in this book. It informed us about how detritivores feed on detritus which is non-living organic matter. Basically the detritivores are small scavengers. They help break down organic matter so it’s easier for the decomposers to finish the job. =====

Bacteria were decomposers brought up in the book. They are one-celled organisms that break down matter. Fungi, like bacteria, can be found all over the world in many forms. Some fungi are edible but others are poisonous. Some examples of fungi are mushrooms and mold. Fungi are decomposers. =====
