RIGHT!
2. nematodes, fungi, organic matter
ORGANIC MATTER IS NOT A DECOMPOSER. THE FOOD WEB IS A LITTLE MISLEADING HERE. THE ORGANIC MATTER IS WHAT THE DECOMPOSERS ARE EATING.
3. birds, arthropods, protozoa
4. fungi and bacteria
5. they discompose and starting to disappear.
REMEMBER THAT DECOMPOSING MATTER DOES NOT DISAPPEAR. IT CHANGES FORMS. DECOMPOSING MATTER LEFT ON SOIL WILL BECOME PART OF THE SOIL, GASES, AND WATER.
6. nematodes and arthropods, they fighting for fungi
REMEMBER THAT WHEN TWO ORGANISMS RELY ON THE SAME RESOURCES FOR SURVIVAL, THEY ARE CALLED COMPETITORS.
7. Birds and animals....
