Question

A logical sequence of carbon cycle is

• A. Producer $\to$ Consumer $\to$ Decomposer
• B. Decomposer $\to$ Producer $\to$ Decomposer
• C. Consumer $\to$ Producer $\to$ Consumer
• D. Producer $\to$ Decomposer $\to$ Consumer

Answer 1

The correct option is A Producer $\to$ Consumer $\to$ Decomposer

• The carbon cycle is series of processes that interconverts the carbon compounds in the environment. The carbon cycle recycles the carbon back into the environment.
• A logical sequence of the carbon cycle is producer followed by consumer followed by decomposer.
• Producers synthesize food through photosynthesis using energy from sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air.
• Consumers consume food directly or indirectly from food. Carbon dioxide is released during respiration from producers and consumers.
• Decomposers break down plant and animal waste products and return carbon back to the environment.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Producer → Consumer → Decomposer.'
