Bacteria and fungi are one of the ecosystem components that act as decomposers. The role of decomposers in the ecosystem is ____
A
Converts organic compounds into other organic compounds
B
Decomposes organic compounds into simple compounds needed by producers
C
Forming organic compounds from inorganic compounds needed by herbivore consumers
D
Break down inorganic compounds into simpler ones as raw materials for photosynthesis
E
Changing weathered compounds into organic compounds needed in the decomposition process
Explanation: 

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: -Bacteria and fungi feed on dead and decaying organic matter and convert complex organic molecules into simple ones. Thus, they perform the role of decomposers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The organisms that obtain their energy from other organisms are called consumers. All animals are consumers, and they eat other organisms. Fungi and many protists and bacteria are also consumers.

Detailed explanation-4: -As decomposers, fungi are vital for the health of ecosystems. They break down nonliving organic matter and release the nutrients into the soil. Plants can then use the nutrients and pass them on to herbivores and other consumers.
