Solution

A. Mercury-III. Water pollution

Mercury is the by-product of the production in many chemical industries. This leads to water pollution.

B. Carbon dioxide- IV. Air and water

Carbon dioxide is present in the air the quantity is about 0.04% and in water is in the form of dissolved gas.

C. Decomposers- I. Mineralization

Decomposers like bacteria and fungi can break them down into simple components. the process of breaking down the organic materials by decomposition of bacteria and fungi resulting in humification and mineralization.

D. Nitrogen fixation- V. Photosynthesis

The process of conversion of free diatomic atmospheric nitrogen into nitrites and nitrates is known as nitrogen fixation. most of the atmospheric nitrogen is fixed through biological processes. From photosynthesis, the plant provides sugars by the nitrogen-fixing microorganism needed for nitrogen fixation.

E. Abiotic- II. Bacteria

Abiotic components are the non-living components of an ecosystem such as air, water, sunlight, wind, soil, temperature, etc. pH is found in the most important abiotic factors influencing bacterial diversity and community structure.
