Herbivores are organisms that feed on plants. Plants have different mechanisms of defending against herbivores, mostly by synthesizing compounds that give the plants a bitter or unpleasant taste. The synthesis of these molecules is intensified when the plant and its cells suffer physical damage, so, in the case of peeled potatoes, there should be an increase in activity of this protective enzyme.

If we removed the decomposers from this food web, how would it affect the balance of the ecosystem? There would be an increase i
denis23 [38]
There would be an increase in dead matter and a lack of nutrients in the soil.

Decomposers break down dead matter, so without them there will be an increase.

They then return the nutrients from the dead matter to the soil, so there will be a lack of nutrients in the soil.

Examples of decomposers are mushrooms and earthworms.
