Question

how do decomposers support the phosphorus cycle? they release phosphate from dead organisms so plants can use it again. they amplify concentrations of phosphorus in the air. they permanently trap phosphorus in the soil. they convert phosphate into nitrogen gas.

Explanation:

Decomposers break down dead organic matter, releasing stored phosphate back into the soil or environment. This phosphate becomes available for plants to absorb and reuse, continuing the phosphorus cycle. Phosphorus does not cycle significantly in the air, decomposers do not trap it permanently, and they cannot convert phosphate to nitrogen gas.

Answer:

They release phosphate from dead organisms so plants can use it again.
