Decomposers constantly embody their own decomposition function in the ecosystem, and gradually decompose complex organic matter into simple inorganic matter. Finally, it returns to the environment in the form of inorganic matter and becomes the nutrient of autotrophs. Decomposer is an indispensable part of ecosystem, which maintains the normal material circulation of ecosystem and ensures the stability of ecosystem structure and function.
Decomposer-producer-consumer
Difference: decomposers are constantly decomposing in the ecosystem, gradually decomposing complex organic matter into simple inorganic matter. Producers carry out photosynthesis through chlorophyll contained in green plant leaves, converting solar energy into chemical energy, transforming inorganic matter into organic matter, supplying nutrients needed for their own growth and development, and becoming the source of all biological food and energy on the earth.
Consumers usually refer to animals, and cannot directly use external energy and inorganic substances to make organic matter. Survive through food producers and other consumers. These consumers are all important links in the ecosystem, and they have the ability to automatically adjust the entire ecosystem, especially the overproduction of producers. ?
Connection: decomposers, producers and consumers are all indispensable parts to maintain the balance and stability of the ecosystem.
Value significance: About 90% of the primary producers in terrestrial ecosystem will eventually form inorganic substances through decomposition by decomposers and return them to the earth for photosynthesis of green plants. Without this process, the organic matter on the earth will pile up, making it impossible for producers and consumers at all levels to survive.
Decomposer is an indispensable part of ecosystem, and its important function is to maintain the normal material circulation of ecosystem to ensure the stability of ecosystem structure and function.
