Question

The decomposers in an ecosystem

• A. Convert inorganic material, to simpler forms
• B. Convert organic material to inorganic forms
• C. Convert inorganic materials into organic compounds
• D. Do not breakdown organic compounds

Answer 1

The correct option is B Convert organic material to inorganic forms

Decomposers are micro consumers and include certain bacteria and fungi. They are known as saprophytes and release the minerals trapped in organic remains of plants and animals. The process of decomposition occurs outside the body of decomposers. They release enzymes on the organic dead remains which decompose them into simple inorganic substances which are absorbed by decomposers.
So, the correct option is B.
