Vedclass · Answer

(A) The correct answer is $B$. $1$. Fragmentation is the process of breaking down detritus into smaller particles by detritivores. $2$. Catabolism is the process where bacterial and fungal enzymes degrade detritus into simpler inorganic substances. $3$. Humification leads to the accumulation of a dark-colored amorphous substance called humus. $4$. Mineralisation is the process by which inorganic nutrients are released from the humus by the action of certain microbes. Therefore,the degradation of detritus into simpler inorganic substances by microbial enzymes is specifically referred to as $Catabolism$.
