What is the primary function of decomposers in an ecosystem? a. decomposers are parasites; they attach themselves to host organisms and absorb nutrients from the host until the host organism dies. b. decomposers break down matter from dead organisms into simpler substances that can be recycled in ecosystems. c. decomposers absorb energy from the sun and produce food for themselves as well as other organisms. d. decomposers combine elements, such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, into complex molecules that can be used as food sources for organisms.

decomposers break down matter from dead organisms into simpler substances that can be recycled in ecosystems (b)

Explanation:

i just got this question on Study Island

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
