Q. If decomposers are removed what will happen to the ecosystem?

Haryana PMTHaryana PMT 2005

Solution:

Decomposers are heterotropic organisms mostly bacteria and fungi which live on dead organic matter or detritus. They release different enzymes from their bodies into the dead and decaying plant and animal remains. The extra cellular digestion of the dead remains, lead to the release of simple inorganic substances.
