NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Without decomposers, dead leaves, dead insects, and dead animals would pile up everywhere. Imagine what the world would look like! More importantly, decomposers make vital nutrients available to an ecosystem’s primary producers-usually plants and algae.

Detailed explanation-2: -If we didn’t have decomposition and detritivores, we would be swimming in fallen leaves and walking over dead animals. Plus we would see a decline in new growth because all the nutrients would be trapped in the dead plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: If an ecosystem didn’t have decomposers, dead organisms and their waste wouldn’t decompose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Detritivores and decomposers reintroduce vital elements such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, and potassium back into the soil, allowing plants to take in these elements and use them for growth. They shred the dead plant matter which releases the trapped nutrients in the plant tissues.
