which one is not a function of decomposers in
ecosystem?
(1) They are natural scavengers
(2) They enhance the piling of organic remains on
the earth
(3) Replenish soil fertility
(4) Help in maintenance of ecosystem
ANSWER AND EXPLAIN PLEASE
Answers
The answer is - (2) 'They enhance the piling of organic remains on
the earth'. - This is not a 'function' of 'decomposers' in an 'ecosystem'.
- 'Decomposers' are 'biological agents' of the 'environment' that eat 'dead matter': 'dead plants' such as 'leaves', 'trees', 'animal carcasses' and 'dung'.
- They break down 'plants', 'animals' and 'animal feces'. By breaking down these 'complex compounds', 'detritivores obtain nutrients'.
- Some 'living creatures' have a 'valuable service' as 'clean-up crews' for the 'planet'. Without a 'composting machine', 'dead leaves', 'dead insects', and 'dead animals' will 'pile up' everywhere.
- 'Bacteria' and 'fungi' are examples of 'decomposers' with 'biological interactions' on a 'large scale'.
- 'Decomposers' work by 'breaking down' 'dead organisms'. This process returns 'nutrients' needed by 'organisms' to the 'soil' for reuse in this 'ecosystem'.

Answer: (2) They enhance the piling of organic remains on the earth.
Explanation:
A decomposer is a biological agent in the environment that eats dead things. Dead plants such as leaves, trees, animal corpses and feces.
Decomposes plants, animals and animal droppings. By breaking down these complex compounds, the decomposition material obtains its nutrients.
Some 'creatures' perform 'worthy services' as 'clean-ups' of the 'planet'. Without a composting machine, dead leaves, dead insects, and dead animals would pile up everywhere.
“Bacteria” and “Fungi” are examples of “decomposers” with “extensive” “biological interactions”.
Decomposers work by "decomposing" "dead creatures". This process returns the 'nutrients' needed by the 'organism' back to the 'soil' for reuse in its 'ecosystem'.
