Question

In an ecosystem with four levels—producers, primary consumers, and two higher-level consumers—describe where the decomposers operate within the context of these trophic levels. Provide at least two examples.What trophic levels do decomposers act on? What are examples of how decomposers act on two different trophic levels?

Answer 1

The Decomposers which decompose the
organic matter from dead plants and animals
occupy the last trophic level or the top of the
ecological pyramid, the most common
examples of decomposers are microorganisms
like bacteria, and fungi.
For example, plants that can make their food
through the process of photosynthesis are
called producers, consumers are of three types
herbivores carnivores, omnivores based on
their consumption, and decomposers are
classified by the type of organic matter they
break down.
Scavengers, Detritivores, Saprotrophs.
