Question

Choose the correct sequences:

• A. CO₂ in the atmosphere → decomposers → organic carbon in animals → organic carbon in plants
• B. CO₂ in the atmosphere → organic carbon in plants → organic carbon in animals → inorganic carbon in soil
• C. Inorganic carbonates in water → organic carbon in plants → organic carbon in animals → scavengers
• D. Organic carbon in animals → decomposers → CO₂ in the atmosphere → organic carbon in plants

Answer 1

The correct option is B

CO₂ in the atmosphere → organic carbon in plants → organic carbon in animals → inorganic carbon in soil

The correct option is B

Explanation of the correct option:

1. The biosphere is circulated by nutrient cycles.
2. Abiotic (components that are not living) and biotic (living) components alternately make up the nutrients.
3. Thus, the cycles of nutrients are sometimes known as biogeochemical cycles.
4. The water cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and mineral cycle are significant nutrient cycles.
5. In the carbon cycle, green plants' photosynthesis converts atmospheric carbon into organic substances like carbohydrates.
6. Animals and other heterotrophic creatures devour the organic molecules.

Final Answer: - Hence the correct sequence is CO2 in the atmosphere → organic carbon in plants → organic carbon in animals → inorganic carbon in soil
