If there were no decomposers, which of the following would most likely happen
a. some plants might die due to a shortage of important nutrients
b. plants and animals would remain living for a longer period of time
c. animals would start carrying out photosynthesis
d. the amount of dead plant and animal matter would decrease

Some plants might die due to a shortage of important nutrients.

Explanation:

Decomposers are important because when they break down dead matter, they restore essential nutrients to the ecosystem which are used by plants to make food. Nitrogen, magnesium, and phosphorus are examples of nutrients that are released by decomposers. Without decomposers, many plants would likely die due to a shortage of these nutrients. Also, decomposers keep dead matter from "piling up" in the ecosystem.

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.
