Question

A particular environment has plenty of water, oxygen, and minerals, but it cannot recycle organic waste and dead organisms. What will happen to the organisms in this environment over time?

Answer 1

All the organism will die eventually

Step-by-step explanation:

All the essential organic and inorganic elements are retrieved from the decomposed organic waste or dead organisms. Plants take in these essential elements from the organic fertilizers and soil and convert them into usable form such as food. Now since the recycling of organic waste and dead organism stops , the plants will not get nutrients from soil and thus they will not be able to produce food. Therefore, all species (including the plant themselves) dependent on food produced by plant will not get food and may die out eventually (in absence of food)
