Answer 22

Well, I got the answer. Now, Why are decomposers important to energy transfer within an ecosystem?

Answer 23

I think it's because they break down nutrients for re-use, but I'm not sure.

Decomposers are important because they are breaking down material that has already been consumed and recycling it to the best of their ability back into the ecosystem.
