Decomposition

  • When an organism like a plant and animal dies then the body gets broken into smaller simpler molecules by bacteria and fungi.
  • The large complex material of the organism gets converted into a small simple molecule that is used as food by microorganisms.
  • The decomposed material gets into the soil and through the root system reaches the plant as nutrients.

Therefore, the energy gained from the plants or animals is balanced and reaches its source.
