Bacteria and Fungi

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The cycling of nutrients in an ecosystem is primarily driven by the process of decomposition. Decomposers,such as $Bacteria$ and $Fungi$,break down complex organic matter from dead plants and animals into simpler inorganic substances. These inorganic nutrients are then released back into the soil,making them available for uptake by producers (plants). If $Bacteria$ and $Fungi$ are removed,the decomposition process will cease,organic matter will accumulate,and the recycling of essential nutrients back into the ecosystem will stop.
