Look at the below figure and answer the following questions. 'Which' apple do you think fell from the tree first? Explain your answer.

If you consider the somewhat fresh apple as the first one then the third apple fell first from the tree because it is fully eaten by decomposers and these are certain heterotrophic bacteria and fungi which attack the dead remains of the producers and consumers. Here the third apple is fully degraded by decomposers because it fell first and was consumed by decomposers.

Look at the below figure and answer the following questions. What is happening to the mineral salts from the apple?

Decomposers are certain heterotrophic bacteria and fungi which attacks the dead remains of the producers and consumers. Whenever the apple is fell on the ground the decomposers attacks it and make it to degraded in nature hence with the help of decomposers the mineral salts and other nutrients in the apple are again enters into the soil and makes it fertile.
