Question

What type of organisms are responsible for recycling the matter at the top of the trophic pyramid?

Answer 1

Detritivores and decomposers are responsible for recycling the matter at the top of the trophic pyramid. These organisms break down organic matter, such as dead plants and animals, into nutrients that can be used by primary producers to create new organic matter. Examples of detritivores and decomposers include bacteria, fungi, worms, and insects.
