Transcript

00:01 See the statement a the statement a which states that decomposers the decomposers are the final stage in food chain so see the statement is not wrong but the statement is not complete okay the statement is not complete here their their role the role of decomposers is not just the final stage okay they are not just the final stage they also have their primary role is to recycle to recycle the nutrients okay so this is the primary role not the fine not being the final stage okay now option b option b is saying that the producers they depend on consumers okay so they are depending on consumers more than the decomposers okay so see if producer plants are our producers producers they grow on the soil they need nutrients right they need minerals right and where they come from where do they come from in the soil by decomposers okay the decomposers are actually degrading remains of the animals of the plants right to gain this nutrient minerals but but they are saying that the producer is dependent on consumer.

01:23 Like the plants are dependent on animal.

01:26 No, they are not.

01:28 They can be indirectly relatable.

01:30 They can be indirectly relatable.

01:31 But they are not directly relatable.

01:33 So, this statement is also false.

01:35 Okay.

01:35 C.

01:37 C says that the decomposers help to recycle the nutrient.

01:43 Now, see this statement is right in the respect of decomposers.

01:48 But it is again not complete because they are not showing the relation between the producer and decomposer right the relation between producer and decomposer is missing still now let's see the option d which states that a producer uses nutrients okay the producer like here we said producers are using these nutrients minerals which are present in the soil nutrients that that decomposers help to recycle...
