Hello, everyone. And in today's video, we have a very short problem. So let's jump straight into it. So organisms that grow on their food source and secrete chemicals that are able to break down there. Four source are called. So I want you to think about another word for this term breakdown and it's decomposed. And so we have organisms that are able to grow underfoot, such as fungi. And they're able to secrete certain chemicals into their food source in order to break it down. These chemicals are called enzymes and then they consume these food source after they're able to decompose it there decomposes because of this. And so the composer's is going to be answer choice B. And that will be the final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
