How do decomposers conserve mass? They create new mass as old organisms die. They recycle mass back into the ecosystem. They destroy excess mass in the environment. They convert mass into sunlight by photosynthesis.
"When decomposers eat off of dead plants and animals, they are recycling it and turning it into nutrients for other plants. It’s a continuous cycle that prevents the build up of waste."
Explanation: They recycle the mass because when an organism dies if the consumer eats the animal that die then they get more energy. When they get more energy and eventually get more mass.
