Detritivores breakdown detritus into smaller particles. This process is called:
1 Fragmentation
2 Humification
3 Decomposition
4 Catabolism
Explanation:
Detritivores like earthworm breakdown detritus into smaller particles. This process is called fragmentation. Catabolism is breakdown detritus into smaller particles by releasing of enzymes by bacteria and fungi. Humification is the formation of a dark-coloured amorphous substance called humus. Mineralisation is the degradation of humus into minerals by microbes.

Select the correct answer A. Warm and moist environment favour decomposition B. Low temperature and anaerobiosis inhibit decomposition resulting in clearance of organic materials.
1 Only A is correct
2 Only B is correct
3 Both are correct
4 None are correct
Explanation:
Low temperature and anaerobiosis inhibit decomposition resulting in build up of organic materials

Decomposers are also called as
1 Micro-consumers
2 Reducers
3 Transducers
4 Both (1) and (2)
Explanation:
Decomposers are also called as reducers because they are able to degrade or remove the dead organisms. They are also called as microconsumers because of their small body size.

Which one of the following is not characteristic of humus?
1 It is further degraded by the process of humification
2 It is colloidal in nature and serves as a reservoir of nutrients
3 It is rich in organic matter such as cellulose and lignin'
4 More than 1 option is correct
Explanation:
Process of humus formation is Humification. When humus is further degraded by some microbes it releases inorgani nutrients and this process is called mineralization.
