Rosemary Jenkins · Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Bacteria and fungi recycle energy within an ecosystem and plants and other photosynthetic organisms are producers in ecosystems are false statements about an ecosystem.

Kennedy Peters · Answer 2

The correct answer is B.) Bacteria and fungi recycle energy within an ecosystem ... Plants and other photosynthetic organisms are producers in ecosystems.

That is false because organisms such as bacteria and fungi that are decomposers don't matter to the ecosystem and they don't recycle energy.
