NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Decomposers feed on dead things: dead plant materials such as leaf litter and wood, animal carcasses, and feces. They perform a valuable service as Earth’s cleanup crew. Without decomposers, dead leaves, dead insects, and dead animals would pile up everywhere.

Detailed explanation-2: -Back to the Beginning. When plants and animals die, they become food for decomposers like bacteria, fungi and earthworms. Decomposers or saprotrophs recycle dead plants and animals into chemical nutrients like carbon and nitrogen that are released back into the soil, air and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Decomposers are organisms that feed on dead matter, typically breaking it down into simpler and smaller components. Examples include fungi, bacteria, and certain animals such as earthworms and slugs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria and fungi are decomposers of dead organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are three main groups that each have different roles. Each group depends on each other and could not survive if one group were removed. producers (autotrophs) – self eating. flow of energy-producers to consumers to decomposers. consumers (heterotrophs)-eating others decomposers.
