Question

if there were no decomposers, which of the following would most likely happen?

b. the amount of dead plant and animal matter would decrease.
c. plants and animals would remain living for a longer period of time.
d. animals would start carrying out photosynthesis.

Brief Explanations

Descomponedores descomponen materia orgánica muerta, liberando nutrientes (como nitrógeno, fósforo) al suelo que las plantas necesitan para crecer. Sin ellos, estos nutrientes no se reciclarían, por lo que las plantas no tendrían acceso a ellos y algunas podrían morir. Las otras opciones son incorrectas: la materia muerta aumentaría (no disminuiría), la vida útil de plantas y animales no se vería alargada, y los animales no pueden desarrollar fotosíntesis.

Answer:

A. Some plants may die due to a shortage of important nutrients.
