Answer 1

Carbon dioxide is stored inside animals body and is released after they die.

Step-by-step explanation:

MOST OF THE CARBON THEY CONSUME IS EXHALED AS CARBON DIOXIDE THAT WAS FORMED DURING AEROBIC RESPIRATION. THE ANIMALS AND PLANTS EVENTUALLY DIE. DECOMPOSERS BREAK DOWN THE DEAD ORGANISMS AND RETURN THE CARBON IN THEIR BODIES TO THE ATMOSPHERE AS CARBON DIOXIDE BY RESPIRATION.
