Question

directions: drag the answers to the correct boxes.
which type of organism is responsible for the transfer of energy and
nutrients shown in different stages of the cycle below.
energy and nutrient cycle
dragables
producers
consumers
decomposers

Explanation:

• Producers: They take energy from the sun and inorganic nutrients from the pool. They convert solar energy into chemical energy (e.g., through photosynthesis) and are the starting point of energy transfer in an ecosystem.
• Consumers: They obtain energy and nutrients by consuming producers or other consumers. They transfer energy through the food chain.
• Decomposers: They break down dead organisms (from producers and consumers). In the process, they release nutrients back into the inorganic nutrient pool, completing the nutrient cycle.

Answer:

Top box: Producers, Middle - right box: Consumers, Middle - left box: Decomposers
