Statement B: The humus is further degraded by some microbes and release of inorganic nutrients occurs by mineralisation.

Important Questions on Ecosystem
Identify the correct statement:
A. Detrivores perform fragmentation.
B. The humus is further degraded by some microbes during mineralisation.
C. Water soluble inorganic nutrients go down into the soil and get precipitated by a process called leaching.
D. The detritus food chain begins with living organism.
E. Earthworms break down detritus into smaller particles by a process called catabolism.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:


Given below are two statements:
Statement : Decomposition is a process in which the detritus is degraded into simpler substances by microbes.
Statement : Decomposition is faster if the detritus is rich in lignin and chitin.
