How do decomposers ensure that there are always enough minerals and other nutrients in an ecosystem?
Answer (2)
Decomposers break down food and release mineral and nutrient into the earth. If there were no such thing as decomposers, none of the nutrients we need can be reused, and life could end as we know it. We depend on decomposers.
Decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi, break down dead organisms and organic waste, recycling vital nutrients back into ecosystems. This process makes minerals like nitrogen and phosphorus available for producers, which is crucial for sustaining life. Their role in decomposition ensures a continuous supply of nutrients necessary for the survival of various organisms.
