Which of the following is an INCORRECT explanation of how energy flows and matter is cycled through an ecosystem using the processes of photosynthesis and respiration?

When organisms use organic matter for cellular respiration, ALL the matter goes back into carbon dioxide, water, and minerals, while ALL the energy leaves the ecosystem as heat (which is ultimately radiated out into space). So matter cycles, energy flows through ecosystems.

answer: grassland biomes are closer to the equator and receive more rain.

grasslands are biomes that are dominated by grasses rather shrubs and trees. savanna are biomes that exhibit grasses, shrubs and small tree as vegetation. grasslands are located near the equator of the earth. these are found in north america. savanna biomes are found in africa, south america, australia and india. grassland exhibit moderate climatic conditions, it receives   amount of rainfall higher than savanna.   therefore, savanna exhibit dry and hot climatic conditions.
