Answer 2

The answer is option d)both B and C

• Bacteria and fungi break down the dead and decayed matter into simpler substances and provide nutrition back to the soil. In turn, they obtain energy from the dead and waste matter. This is a natural process called Decomposition.
• It's because of these decomposers that all the organic waste is decomposed in days, weeks or months and becomes part of the soil and no longer remains as waste.
• They secrete digestive enzymes onto the dead organic matter first and then absorb the digested material from that organic matter.
• These decomposers are also called as saprotrophs and their nutrition is knowns as saprotrophic nutrition.
• Complex substances in all plants and animals are broken down by decomposers and are returned to the soil as nutrients, so the locked nutrients are unlocked by decomposers.
• Since these bacteria and fungi cannot synthesise their own food, and depend on other organisms for organic matter, they are called heterotrophs.
