2. It traps energy.

3. It builds up biomass from inorganic nutrients.

Decomposition:

1. It is the process of breaking down of a substance/waste biomass into its constituent parts by decomposers (bacteria, fungi).

ADVERTISEMENTS:

2. It releases energy.

3. It releases inorganic nutrients from the biomass.
