Question
Chapter 24, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way through which microbes act as decomposers and give at least two examples.
Introduction:
Energy transfers between populations and at each step it is released in the form of heat. Energy continuously flows until the entire input has released as heat. Thus, in an ecosystem, energy flows from one population to the other. Chemicals such as nitrogen, carbon and phosphorous, are transferred from one population to the other. They return to the parent producer by recycling.
