Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The answer is 3-A decomposer breaks down decaying matter to produce energy and release nutrients back into the environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -When one organism eats another, the matter, or carbon, nitrogen, and other essential elements, are transferred from one to the other. These elements move from the producers, to the consumers, and eventually to the decomposers, cycling the matter through the ecosystem.
