Question

Which component is constituted by plants Which component is constituted by plants

Answer 1

Answer:

The green plants initiate the ecosystem activity. They act as the producer organisms. They utilize sun's energy directly with the help of chlorophyll and synthesize organic compounds from simple inorganic substances such as water, carbon dioxide and minerals.

The animals act as the consumer organisms by utilizing the food produced by the green plants. They can be primary consumers which feed directly on plants, secondary consumers which feed on primary consumers or tertiary consumers which feed on secondary consumers.

Dead producers and consumers and their wastes sink to the bottom and form organic debris. Here, they are broken down by bacteria and fungi to simple organic and inorganic substances. Thus, the bacteria and fungi form the decomposers which decompose the waste matter.
