Asap describe the role of decomposers in a food web. based on your description, justify why a rotten fruit is not truly wasted.

Explanation:

A food chain is a series of transmission of energy in the form of food when one organism eaten up by another organism. A food web is an interconnection of the food chains.

Decomposers are the organisms, which feed over the dead and decaying parts of the once living organisms. Thus they help in cleaning up of the biological waste from the food web generated after the death of living beings.

The rotten fruit is not truly wasted as the rotten fruit will be consumed by the decomposers. For human beings, the rotten fruit can be considered as the waste and dumped in the garbage but for decomposers it is not a waste, for them it is a source of energy.

1. (1.2kw)x(15/60hours) = .3kwh --> a

2. (5kw)x(90/60hours)x(8cents/kwh) = $0.60 --> d

3. microwave --> 1200 watts = (1.2kw)x(6/60hours) = .12kwh

coffee-maker --> 900 watts = (.9kw)x(10/60hours) = .15kwh

therefore, it requires more energy for the coffee-maker to do the same amount of work.

so the answer is a.
