Answer:

By acting as decomposer

Explanation:

Most of the nematodes are found in fresh water but some of them are found in soil as well. The species of nematodes such as round worm (earthworm) living in soils have the ability to feed on dead organic matter and release their carbon into soil thereby converting carbon within them into some usable form. These roundworm also feed on micro organisms such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa.

In a carbon cycle, the last stage requires decomposers to decompose dead and decaying organic matter and release the carbon stored in them into the soil. Since , free living nematodes (round worm) are able to do so therefore they contribute to the carbon cycle

_______ glycemic index foods are best before exercise, while _______ glycemic index foods are best immediately after exercise.
Sliva [168]
Low glycemic index foods are useful before exercise and high glycemic index foods are good after exercise.
The glycemic index of a food is a relative measure of how fast that food is broken down. A low glycemic index means slow break down, and a high glycemic index indicates fast metabolism of the food, with glucose having the highest glycemic index of 100.
Low glycemic index foods before exercise help to provide a steady source of energy during the exercise session, and high glycemic index foods quickly replenish the energy that was lost during exercise.
