The correct answer is C. Decomposers

Explanation:

In ecology, decomposers are organisms such as bacteria that mainly decompose or break in smaller particles dead organism or waste produced by them and by doing this, they return nutrients of the living organisms to the soil. Due to this, decomposers are essential for the natural cycle of many substances and they are in the last stage in many food chains. According to this, the soil bacteria described has the function of a decomposer because this breaks down the wastes returning essential nutrients such as nitrates to the soil.

The correct answer is glucose. 

Glucose is the major carbohydrate that can be absorbed and used by humans for energy. In animals, glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and the muscle tissue in contrast to plants wherein they store glucose as amylose and amylopectin (also known as starch). In digestion of starch, it will start with the saliva where the enzyme salivary amylase will break it down to smaller molecules of starch and limit dextrins. These will be further broken down in the intestines using the pancreatic amylase forming di and trisaccharides. These di and trisaccharides will be metabolized by brush border enzyme to eventually produce glucose (and other monosaccharides that can be absorbed such as fructose and galactose).
