Question

Rosa drew a flow chart of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle with 4 boxes connected by arrows. Box 1: carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Box 2: X. Box 3: consumers eat producers. Box 4: Y. The arrow that follows box 4 connects to box 1. Which labels best complete the flow chart? X: Producers undergo photosynthesis. Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste. X: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste. Y: Producers undergo photosynthesis. X: Decomposers take in carbon dioxide. Y: Producers absorb carbon through their roots. X: Producers absorb carbon through their roots. Y: Decomposers take in carbon dioxide.

Answer 1

the answer is a X: Producers undergo photosynthesis.

Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

X: Producers undergo photosynthesis. Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste.

Step-by-step explanation:

Producers utilize carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere as a source of carbon for the production of organic compounds during the process of photosynthesis. According to the flow chart the producers are consumed by the consumers. (Box 3) Decomposers break down the dead consumers and give back the carbon present in the bodies of the consumer to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide ---> X ---> Consumers eat producers ---> Y
