No, a round bush is not a decomposer. Decomposers are organisms like fungi and bacteria that break down organic matter into simpler substances, while a round bush is a vascular plant that undergoes photosynthesis to produce its own food.

No, an elderberry bush is not a decomposer. It is a producer, as it uses photosynthesis to create its own food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Decomposers, such as fungi and certain bacteria, break down dead organic matter and recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. Thus, elderberry bushes play a different role in the food chain.
Brittle bush (Encelia farinosa) has adapted to desert conditions through several key features. Its thick, waxy leaves minimize water loss by reducing evaporation, while its deep root system allows it to access moisture from deeper soil layers. The plant also has a light-colored, reflective surface that helps reduce heat absorption, enabling it to withstand extreme temperatures. Additionally, brittle bush can quickly flower and produce seeds after rainfall, ensuring its reproduction in a variable environment.
A sunflower is a producer. It is not a decomposer.
