Answer 2

nutrients are taken up by prodecures as simple inorganic molecules
the producer incomporates these ions in complex organic molecules
the the producer is eaten the nutrient pass into the consumers
it then passes along the food chain when the organisms is eaten
when the producers and consumers die their complex molecules are broken down by saprobointic microorganism that release nutrients in its original form
