Detailed explanation-1: -Decomposers play a critical role in the flow of energy through an ecosystem. They break apart dead organisms into simpler inorganic materials, making nutrients available to primary producers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which best explains how decomposers benefit an ecosystem? They break down dead organisms within the food chain.
Detailed explanation-3: -Q. Which best describes the role of decomposers in an ecosystem? Decomposers eat consumers and pass along energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -They feed on the organic leftovers of dead plants and animals, breaking them down into basic chemicals that are discharged into the soil. Decomposers can recycle plant waste since some of these compounds give nutrients for new plants to thrive.
Detailed explanation-5: -Decomposers in ecosystems act as environmental cleaners by decaying dead plants and animals. They aid in the recycling of nutrients. They make room for a new life in the biosphere by decaying the dead.
