In this episode, we will discuss decomposers.
Decomposers, like bacteria and fungi, are essential recyclers within ecosystems. Their crucial role involves breaking down dead organic material.
This decomposition is achieved through the secretion of enzymes. These enzymes digest the waste, resulting in smaller, soluble food molecules.
These molecules are then absorbed by the decomposer, facilitating the recycling process. Ultimately, decomposers return vital nutrients back into the environment.
