Q10 of 75 Page 438

Give Reason for the following:

Why decomposers are considered as an important part of biogeochemical cycles?

Any biogeochemical cycle has certain basic components, like producers, decomposers etc.

Producers are required because they convert simple form of molecules to complex form while decomposers decompose these complex molecule into simpler ones again. In nature, molecules exist in simpler form and the complex form is unstable. Hence for this process, decomposers plays and important part of every biogeochemical cycle.
