Vedclass · Answer

(D) Decomposition is the process of breaking down complex organic matter into inorganic substances. $1$. Detritivores (like earthworms) break down detritus into smaller particles. $2$. Bacteria and fungi secrete extracellular enzymes to degrade organic matter,leading to humification (formation of humus) and mineralization (release of inorganic nutrients like $CO_2$,$H_2O$,and nutrients). Therefore,all these organisms contribute to the process of decomposition.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$A$. Decomposition	$I$. Accumulation of dark coloured amorphous colloidal substance

$C$. Mineralisation	$III$. Breaking down of complex organic matter into inorganic substances
