Answer:

Scavengers and decomposers get their energy by eating dead plants or animals

Step-by-step explanation:

The nutrients that decomposers release into the environment become part of the soil, making it fertile and good for plant growth. These nutrients become a part of new plants that grow from the fertile soil.
