What would happen if decomposition did not occur

There would be no release of organic nitrogen molecules back to their inorganic state. Dead material would accumulate to choke out livable habitat.
Plants fix atmospheric carbon in photosynthesis and some species of bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen so life would continue taking these into the organic cycle but without decomposing fungi & bacteria the cycle would not complete. However the final step of reduction to N2 is only completed by bacteria. In fact bacteria are critical to every step of the nitrogen cycle. 

Fungi also decompose dead plants and animals so are detrital feeders putting nitrogen into the nitrogen cycle but not as N2. Fungi cannot reduce N2O to N2. So fungi make N2O as their denitrification product. True denitrification, like nitrogen fixing, does not occur in eukaryotes only bacteria.

Which sociological perspective would be likely to suggest that family decision making reflects the inequality of traditional gen

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Feminist sociology - (conflict theory and theoretical perspective)

Explanation:

Feminist sociology looks at relationships between power and gender at interaction in every day and within the context of larger social structures.

This means that traditionally family decision making, as well as the social issues related to women are seen as a product of the dominant role that men historically exerted on women.

They see this as the source of tension and conflict that is ongoing and how social relationships are evolving in the current day.

The perspective views the inequality present in so doing it goes away from the traditional sociology and reconceptualizes the way that assumptions on social institutions were made.

It explores topics like discrimination, sexual objectification, and stigma & stereotypes.
