Question

Which describes the role of decomposers in the carbon cycle?

a. They prevent carbon from escaping into the atmosphere.
b. They absorb carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
c. They change carbon dioxide into a form that organisms can use.
d. They release the carbon that remains in the bodies of dead organisms.

Answer 1

the correct answer is d. after animals eat plants or other animals that ate the plants, they also take in the carbon in the process. the decomposers later break down these animals or plants after they die, which releases CO2 back into the atmosphere, until plants take it in and the whole process starts again. IT'S ALL CONNECTED!

Answer=D

Decomposers release the carbon remaining within the bodies of dead organisms
