Question

carbon is exchanged within the biosphere, as well as between the biosphere, the geosphere, and the atmosphere, via decomposition. decomposers, like bacteria and fungi, break down organic waste and dead organisms. decomposers are heterotrophs. they obtain food and energy by breaking down carbon - based molecules in organic waste and dead organisms. the process of decomposition releases carbon dioxide gas (co₂) into the atmosphere and other forms of carbon, such as ethanol (c₂h₅oh), into the soils and sediments of the geosphere. select the true statements. decomposers are autotrophs that obtain food and energy by performing photosynthesis. the process of decomposition involves the absorption of ethanol from soils and sediments. decomposers facilitate the movement of carbon from the biosphere to the geosphere and the atmosphere. examples of decomposers include organic waste and dead organisms.

Explanation:

Decomposers are heterotrophs that break down organic waste and dead organisms, releasing carbon - dioxide into the atmosphere and other forms of carbon into the geosphere. This shows they facilitate carbon movement between biosphere, geosphere and atmosphere.

Answer:

Decomposers facilitate the movement of carbon from the biosphere to the geosphere and the atmosphere.
