Examine the model of the carbon cycle. Carbon is transferred from one biotic component, the cow, to a second biotic component, the decomposers. Using the model, select the one method that carbon is NOT transferred from animals to decomposers.

Respuesta :

Answer:

C) as carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon is present in all living things, the soils, the ocean, and the atmosphere. Carbon is the building block of life, including DNA, proteins, sugar, and fats.

Plants  -  cow   -  Decomposers

The most important compound of carbon is carbon dioxide(CO2), while in rocks carbon is a major component of limestone, coal, oil, and gas.

There are 2 main components of an ecosystem-

  • The Biotic components
  • The abiotic components

Animals feed on the plant passing carbon compounds along the food chain, the carbon they consumed is exhaled as carbon dioxide formed during aerobic respiration, plants, and animals eventually die.

Decomposers break down the dead organisms and return the carbon in their bodies to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through respiration. In some conditions, decomposition is blocked.

Therefore, in the form of carbon dioxide, carbon is transferred from animals to decomposers.
