Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is true, consumers play a vital role in releasing essential materials from dead matter and maintain a continuous cycle of energy flow.

Explanation:

• There are two broad types of organisms depending upon their ability to manufacture their own:- producers/autotrophs (those who can manufacture their own food. Example- Plants containing chlorophyll.) and consumers/heterotrophs (those who depend upon the food prepared by producers for deriving their energy.
• Primary consumers eat producers, secondary consumers eat the primary consumers, and the tertiary consumers eat the secondary consumers.
• Thus, a flow of energy and matter is maintained between the different trophic levels.
• According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither b created nor destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to the other.
• Once an organism dies, saprotrophs and detritivores, feed on the dead and decaying matter and release the nutrients which are locked up inside the tissues into the soil for recycling. These nutrients are recycled into the plants which grow in the soil utilising and assimilating the nutrients from the soil.
