Question

How do de composers interact with their ecosystem? Name one example of them taking from the ecosystem and one example of them giving to the ecosystem.

Answer 1

Answer:

Decomposers (Figure below) get nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes. Through this process, decomposersrelease nutrients, such as carbon and nitrogen, back into the environment. These nutrients are recycled back into the ecosystem so that the producers can use them.

Examples:-

1. Beetle: type of shredder that eats and digests detritus.

2. Earthworm: type of shredder that eats and digests detritus.

3. Millipede: type of shredder that eats and digests detritus.

4. Mushroom: type of fungi that grows out of the ground or the dead material it's feeding off.
