✨Decomposers✨

• Decomposers are organisms that break down dead plants, animals, and other organic matter.
• They help recycle nutrients and materials back into the environment, allowing new plants and animals to grow.
• Bacteria, worms, snails, slugs, and fungi are types of decomposers.
• All organisms undergo decomposition after death.

✨Decomposition✨

• Decomposition is the process where decomposers break down dead matter into simpler substances.
• It involves the breakdown of complex molecules into smaller molecules that can be used by other living organisms.
• Decomposers secrete enzymes that break down the complex molecules in dead matter into smaller, simpler molecules.
• These smaller molecules are then absorbed by the decomposers to be used as nutrients.

Decomposition is an essential part of the ecosystem. It helps to recycle nutrients and materials back into the environment, which allows new plants and animals to grow. Without decomposition, the Earth would be covered in dead plants and animals.
