Which of the following does NOT accurately state a transfer of carbon in the carbon cycle?
Group of answer choices

Primary consumers eat producers to obtain energy from carbohydrates and then release carbon dioxide as waste.

Carbon atoms from dead animals are used to produce fossil fuels.

Burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.

Sea organisms use carbon dissolved in the oceans to build their shell homes.

The point that does NOT accurately indicate a carbon transfer in the carbon cycle is that burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle involves the journey that carbon makes between living organisms and their surrounding environment, i.e. the entire biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and is therefore considered a biogeochemical cycle.

In living organisms, inorganic carbon is taken up by plants to make organic molecules, which will be used by animals - which release CO₂ into the atmosphere - or dead organic matter provides carbon to the soil.

The combustion of wood and debris involves the oxidation of a combustible material -which requires oxygen from atmosphere- to then release CO₂ as a product. So it is incorrect to say that burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.
