Question

The utilization of nitrogen as nitrogen gas $\left(N_2\right)$ can be done by

• A. Producers
• B. Primary consumers
• C. Secondary consumers
• D. Tertiary consumers
• E. Decomposers

Answer 1

The correct option is E Decomposers

The nitrogen is passed through the food chain by animals that consume the plants. Plants form a symbiotic association with bacteria Rhizobium, where bacteria fixes the nitrogen for plants. During nitrogen, fixation bacteria utilize the nitrogen from the atmosphere as nitrogen gas. All the bacteria and fungi are the decomposers. Thus, the correct answer is option E.
