Question

Decomposers of an ecosystem include

• A. Microscopic animals
• B. Bacteria and fungi
• C. Both A and B
• D. Bacteria, fungi and macroscopic animals

Answer 1

The correct option is B Bacteria and fungi

An ecosystem is made up of living things and nonliving things. Living things include plants, animals and decomosers. Nonliving things include air, water, land. Plants are producers. They synthesize their own food. Animals are consumers. They are either herbivores or carnivores. Decomposers include bacteria and fungi. They decompose the waster organic matter from animals and plants and release energy back in the environment.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Bacteria and fungi.'
