Answer 1

Answer:

bacteria as plant pathogens

Answer 2

The correlation is written below -

Plants : Producers :: Bacteria : Decomposers

• When plants are referred to as producers, then it is talking about the food chain.
• Plants trap solar energy and this solar energy is converted into chemical energy.
• Some of the bacteria are autotrophs and can act as producers. However, bacteria also help in the decomposition of food. Hence, they are better known as decomposers.
• A wide range of food chains starts with plants as most of the organisms use plants to obtain nutrition.
• While most of the food chains end with bacteria or fungi as they take nutrition from the remnants of other organisms. They break down the complex substances into simple nutrients which mix with soil and are taken up by the plants.

Therefore, the answer will be Decomposers.
