Yakvenalex [24]

The process that is vital in the recycling of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus is decomposition.
During decomposition, organic matter from dead organisms is broken down. This break down yields simpler and smaller substances from the more complex ones that were present in the organism.
Carbon is released from the carbohydrates and fats that were present in the organism. Nitrogen is released from the proteins that were present and phosphorus is released from the nucleic acids.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The osmosis will be observed in the beaker leading the movement of water into the dialysis bag from the beaker.</u>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Osmosis is the process of movement of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.
In the beaker the solution will be dilute than the glucose iodine solution in bag.
Due to this concentration difference, the water water from the starch water solution is moved into the bag through the dialysis membrane.

Hence the process of osmosis will be observed.
