Detailed explanation-1: -Decomposers (fungi, bacteria, invertebrates such as worms and insects) have the ability to break down dead organisms into smaller particles and create new compounds. We use decomposers to restore the natural nutrient cycle through controlled composting.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most decomposers are microscopic organisms, including protozoa and bacteria. Other decomposers are big enough to see without a microscope. They include fungi along with invertebrate organisms sometimes called detritivores, which include earthworms, termites, and millipedes.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Decomposers in ecosystems act as environmental cleaners by decaying dead plants and animals. They aid in the recycling of nutrients. They make room for new life in the biosphere by decaying the dead.
Detailed explanation-5: -(a) Describe ONE common role of both bacteria and fungi in the movement of energy and matter in ecosystems. Some types of fungi and bacteria can break down and decompose dead plants and animals, returning nutrients to the soil.
