Decomposers such as bacteria feed on dead plants and animals. in which cycle does this decomposition play a role in forming the fossil fuels that people use for energy? a. carbon cycle b. nitrogen cycle c. argon cycle d. water cycl

nitrogen cycle

Explanation:

Decomposers are saprophytic organisms which include bacteria and fungi. The decomposers act on the dead organic matter to release inorganic materials. Green plants absorb these nutrients and through photosynthesis, the nutrients are used in the synthesis of organic compounds.

Animals feed on plants and assimilate the plant proteins into animal proteins. When plants and animals die, they are acted upon by saprophytic bacteria and fungi forming ammonium compounds which can be absorbed by plants.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
