Fixation of carbon is accomplished by

A) photosynthetic organisms.
B) primary consumers.
C) decomposers.
D) bacterial decomposers.
E) burning of organic matter.

Carbon Fixation

The process by which inorganic carbon (usually in the form of CO2) is converted to organic compounds by living organisms, prominently through photosynthesis in plants.

Photosynthetic Organisms

Organisms that are capable of photosynthesis, a process of converting light energy into chemical energy, primarily occurring in plants, algae, and certain bacteria.

Decomposers

Organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, that break down dead organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
