Describe how decomposers facilitate recycling of matter in order to maintain balance in the ecosystem
Answers
ANSWER
Decomposers are micro organisms that obtain energy from the chemical breakdown of dead organisms of animals or plants. These micro organisms breakdown the complex organic substances of dead organisms into simple inorganic substances that go into the soil and are used up once more by the plants. Decomposers thus, help in recycling of matter.
Explanation:
Decomposer are those organisms which break down the dead remains and waste products of other organisms.
Freeliving decomposers break down the complex inorganic substances into simple organic substances which goes into the soil and are again taken up by the plants with the help of micro-organisms and free-living nitrogen fixers. In this way decomposer facilitate recycling of matter in order to maintain balance in ecosystem.
