Question

............... helps in maintaining the supply of nutrients to the growing plants.

• A. Herbivores
• B. Carnivores
• C. Decomposers
• D. Omnivores

Answer 1

The correct option is C Decomposers

All living organisms have a definite life cycle.

When an organism dies, his dead body is decayed by numerous saprophytes feeding over it. These saprophytes convert complex organic material into simple inorganic material which is then stored in the soil in the form of nutrients. When seeds of a plant grow, they receive nutrition from the soil which is absorbed by the roots of the plants.

In this way, decomposers that decay plant and animal bodies provide the nutrition back to the soil

So, option C, 'Decomposers' is the correct option.
