Question

Assertion: The decomposers convert organic material into inorganic material
Reason: The environment can thrive in the absence of decomposers.​

Answer 1

convert organic material to inorganic forms

Decomposers are micro consumers and include certain bacteria and fungi.

They are known as saprophytes and release the minerals trapped in organic remains of plants and animals. The process of decomposition occurs outside the body of decomposers. They release enzymes on the organic dead remains which decompose them into simple inorganic substances which are absorbed by decomposers.

So, the correct answer is 'convert organic material to inorganic forms'.
