What is the primary role of heterotrophs in the Carbon Cycle?

• They produce CO2 through photosynthesis.

• They consume plants and release CO2 through respiration.

• They convert sunlight into chemical energy.

• They fix nitrogen into the soil.

What is the significance of primary succession in an ecosystem?

• It begins with the establishment of a mature community.

• It starts with a pioneer species such as lichen and leads to soil formation.

• It involves rapid changes and ends with the introduction of animals.

• It starts and ends with the same species without any change.
