Review the desert food web above. What organism, absent in the web, would be Most responsible for recycling organic matter back through the food web?

OK thanks

I don't see a web food chain from the desert.

its bacteria :p

To review the desert food web, we would need the actual food web provided in order to identify the specific absent organism. However, I can explain the concept of an organism responsible for recycling organic matter in a food web, known as a decomposer.

Decomposers play a crucial role in recycling organic matter by breaking down dead plants and animals into simpler organic compounds. These compounds are then recycled back into the ecosystem, making them available as nutrients to be used by other organisms in the food web.

Common decomposers in a desert ecosystem could include bacteria, fungi, and detritivores like scavengers and decomposing insects. Their important role involves breaking down the organic matter, such as dead plants and animals, into nutrients that can be absorbed by plants or consumed by other organisms.

Without a specific desert food web to refer to, we cannot identify the exact organism that would be most responsible for recycling organic matter. However, decomposers in general would be the group of organisms primarily responsible for this essential function.
