Decomposition. Detritivores are decaying organic creatures, their faecal matter, or both. The carbon in their remains decomposes into the atmosphere.
The processes that return carbon to the atmosphere include respiration by animals, decomposition of organic matter, and combustion of fossil fuels.
Organisms return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through the process of respiration. During respiration, organisms break down organic molecules to release energy, producing carbon dioxide as a byproduct that is then released into the air.
Yes, decomposition releases carbon stored in organic matter back into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. This process occurs as microorganisms break down organic material, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct of respiration.
The carbon cycle is a process where carbon is removed and returned to the atmosphere. The ways of returning carbon to the atmosphere are- 1. Respiration 2. Decomposition 3. Combustion Ways of removing carbon- Photosynthesis. The CO2 in the air is taken in by green plants for photosynthesis. The green plants die eventually and is decomposed; decomposition return carbon to the atmosphere. Animals respire and return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Decomposers respire as well. Green plants can be used to make fuels, which combust to return carbon dioxide to the air.
Human beings return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere primarily through the combustion of fossil fuels for energy production and transportation. Additionally, deforestation and land use changes also release stored carbon back into the atmosphere.

Organisms return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through the process of respiration. During respiration, organisms break down organic molecules to release energy, producing carbon dioxide as a byproduct that is then released into the air.
If detritivores stopped working, there would be an accumulation of dead organic matter, leading to a decrease in decomposition rates. This could disrupt the carbon cycle by reducing the return of nutrients to the soil, impacting plant growth, and potentially leading to an imbalance in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

Decomposition.
Detritivores decompose organic materials in an ecosystem and return the nutrients to the soil, air, and water.
Human beings return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere primarily through the combustion of fossil fuels for energy production and transportation. Additionally, deforestation and land use changes also release stored carbon back into the atmosphere.
Several processes release carbon as gases (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane) into the atmosphere. Three important processes are fuel combustion, respiration, and methane release. -- Combustion of carbon-based fuels (wood, alcohol, biogas, or fossil fuels) remove oxygen and combine it to form carbon dioxide and other compounds. -- Plant and animal respiration release carbon dioxide. This is the reverse operation of photosynthesis. -- Methane is released from ruminant animals, from decomposition of organisms, and from ocean-bottom clathrate deposits.
Animals release carbon back into the cycle in two main ways. One is through exhaling and releasing carbon dioxide, and the other is by decomposing; when animals die and their bodies decompose the carbon is returned to the environment where it can be used again.
They break down organic remains such as dead plants and animals into small particles. This slow decaying process is the beginning of CARBONIFICATION which turns these particles into fossil fuels. The bacteria also return carbon to the atmosphere in the form of Carbon Dioxide during RESPIRATION.
Respiration. We breathe in oxygen, and return carbon dioxide to the air.
