What is the function of the enzymes released onto decaying matter by decomposers? A. to put together elements and small molecules B. to separate large molecules from small molecules C. to break down large molecules into elements and small molecules D. to combine elements and small molecules to form large molecules

Respuesta :

Decomposers break down decaying matter. Considering decomposers are quite small, they must make the matter small enough to consume. In order to do this, they release enzymes that separate the large molecules into elements and small molecules that can be consumed and travel back into the Earth to become something else.
