Producers take in carbon dioxide in its gaseous form from the air during the process of photosynthesis, and use the carbon from the CO2 to create food molecules such as sugars and starches. When these producers are eaten by heterotrophs, they also take in the carbon that is contained in the food molecules that were created by the plants. Later, while breaking down the food molecules, the consumers release CO2 and water as waste products. When these consumers die, the decomposers break down the heterotroph and return the carbon compounds back to the soil.

What is the role for secondary producers in the carbon cycle?

Secondary producers play a crucial role in the carbon cycle by consuming organic matter from primary producers and converting it into biomass. This process helps transfer carbon from one trophic level to another in the food chain. By doing so, secondary producers help regulate the flow of carbon through ecosystems and contribute to carbon sequestration.
