Question

Choose the correct sequences

• A. CO₂ in atmosphere → decomposers → organic carbon in animals → organic carbon in plants
• B. CO₂ in 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 atmosphere → organic carbon in plants

Answer 1

The correct option is B

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

The correct option is B.

Explanation for the correct option:

1. The nutrient cycle alternate between biotic and nonliving abiotic components.
2. As a result, nutrient cycles are also known as biogeochemical cycles.
3. Carbon dioxide (abiotic) in the atmosphere is taken up by plants.
4. It is used to form sucrose through photosynthesis.
5. The movement and interchange of inorganic and organic matter back into the formation of matter is referred to as a nutrient cycle.
6. Energy flow is unidirectional and noncyclic, but the mineral nutrient movement is cyclic.
7. The following are some of the major biogeochemical cycles: (1) The water cycle or hydrologic cycle (2) The carbon cycle (3) The nitrogen cycle (4) The oxygen cycle.
8. An ecosystem's producers absorb numerous basic inorganic nutrients from their non-living surroundings.
9. The nutrients alternate between living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components on a regular basis.
10. During the photosynthesis process, green plants fix atmospheric carbon into organic molecules such as sugars.
11. Animals and other heterotrophic creatures ingest organic molecules.
12. Detritivorous species consume animal excrement and dead animals and plants, releasing mineral nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur back into the environment.

Final answer: CO₂ in the atmosphere → organic carbon in plants → organic carbon in animals → inorganic carbon in the soil, correct sequences in which the food chain takes place.
