Decomposers are essentially heterotrophs.a.Falseb.True

Heterotrophic decomposers...Group of answer choicesUse complex organic compounds as their carbon source and CO2 as their energy sourceUse CO2 as their carbon source and inorganic compounds as their energy sourceUse light as their carbon source and CO2 as their energy sourceUse complex organic molecules as their primary carbon and energy sourceUse CO2 as their carbon source and light as their energy source

Describe briefly the role of decomposers in an ecosystem. State two examples of decomposers.

The decomposers in an ecosystem(a) convert inorganic material, to simpler forms(b) convert organic material to inorganic forms(c) convert inorganic materials into organic compounds(d) do not breakdown organic compounds
