Question

Decomposer also called as
A.Transducers
B.Reducers
C.Micro-consumer
D.Both (b) and (c)

Answer 1

Decomposer are the organism that perform decomposition process. Decomposers decompose organic matter into simpler substances. The process of decaying organic matter is known as decomposition.

Complete answer: A decomposer is an important part of our ecosystem. If decomposers are not present our world is converted into a heap of dead organisms. They decay or decompose the dead plants and animals into nutrients. A decomposer is an important part of the detritus food chain. Decomposers are on the first trophic level in the detritus food chain.
To find the answer we have to know the terms used in the question.
Transducers: Organism converts one form of energy into another. Plants are known as transducer because they convert light energy into chemical energy.
Reducers: Organisms that reduce the complex organic matter into the simpler matter are known as reducers. Decomposers also are known as reducers.
Micro-consumer: Decomposer consumes dead organic matter and converts into simpler substances, mostly decomposers include microorganisms hence decomposers are also known as the micro consumer.
So, from the above information the correct option is (D). The decomposers are known as reducers and micro consumers.
Additional Information:
Advantage of decomposer:
They help to clean the dead plant and animal dead body by the decomposition process.
By decomposition, they prevent diseases from dead organisms.
They maintain the cycle of nutrition in our ecosystem.

Note: Earthworm, fungi, and bacteria include decomposers. Earthworm digests dead matter with the help of its digestion process. Earthworms eat dead complex organic matter and excrete simpler substances which makes the soil fertile. Hence earthworms also use fertile soil.
