Question

Decomposers such as bacteria feed on dead plants and animals. In which cycle does this decomposition play a role in forming the fossil fuels that people use for energy? A. carbon cycle B. nitrogen cycle C. argon cycle D. water cycl

Answer 1

nitrogen cycle

Step-by-step explanation:

Decomposers are saprophytic organisms which include bacteria and fungi. The decomposers act on the dead organic matter to release inorganic materials. Green plants absorb these nutrients and through photosynthesis, the nutrients are used in the synthesis of organic compounds.

Animals feed on plants and assimilate the plant proteins into animal proteins. When plants and animals die, they are acted upon by saprophytic bacteria and fungi forming ammonium compounds which can be absorbed by plants.
