Answer:

the other organism when they died with would not able to be decompose the they dead bodies would be left to rot . And then they food cycle would not be able to grow .In short food chain would disssolve

Step-by-step explanation:

When organisms die, decomposers break down the dead bodies and the nitrogen is released and another type of bacteria breaks it down into gaseous nitrogen. Without decomposers and other types of bacteria, the nitrogen cycle would not be maintained. Plants would die off and the food chain would dissolve. As plant are primary producers
