By process of leaching during decomposition of detritus, water soluble :
| 1. | organic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as available salts |
| 2. | inorganic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as unavailable salts |
| 3. | organic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as available salts |
| 4. | inorganic nutrients go down the soil horizon and get precipitated as available salts |

During decomposition of detritus, the step that is performed by bacteria and fungi includes:
1. Catabolism only
2. Catabolism and fragmentation
3. Leaching and catabolism
4. Fragmentation, Leaching and Catabolism

The three steps of decomposition occur:
1. sequentially, with catabolism being the last step.
2. sequentially, with leaching being the last step.
3. simultaneously.
4. sequentially, but not in a particular order.

Humus:
1. Is easily broken down by microbes
2. Undergoes decomposition rapidly
3. Serves as a reservoir of nutrients
4. Yields organic nutrients on mineralization

The process of mineralization by micro-organisms helps in the release of:
| 1. | Inorganic nutrients from humus |
| 2. | Both organic and inorganic nutrients from detritus |
| 3. | Organic nutrients from humus |
| 4. | Inorganic nutrients from detritus and formation of humus |

Decomposition of detritus is rapid when:
1. It is rich in lignin and chitin
2. Ambient temperature is low
