The flow of nutrients is a cycle in ecosystems, and nutrients are returned to the ecosystem by the activity of decomposers. Without decomposers, nutrient cycling would stop and life as we know it would cease. By what primary route do nutrients reenter the food web?
Choose one:A. When decomposers die, their remains are absorbed into the ground and soil, and that releases the nutrients back into the ecosystem.B. Nutrients reenter the food web only through the atmosphere, which all organisms use for photosynthesis and respiration.C. Decomposers are consumed by producers and primary consumers. Digestion then releases nutrients that are incorporated into the living organisms and passed on through the food web.D. Nutrients pass through the decomposers to the soil, water, and atmosphere where they are absorbed by producers and incorporated into organic molecules.
