Question

Plants produce carbohydrates for themselves through the process of photosynthesis. Which cycle is carried out when these carbohydrates are passed on along the food chain to animals and other consumers?

The nitrogen cycle
The phosphorus cycle
The carbon cycle

Answer 1

The cycle that is carried out during food chain and energy trophic level is the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle includes the giving off of the carbon dioxide of the organisms which is absorbed by plants through the stomata in aid for photosynthesis or food making.

Answer 2

The carbon cycle

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon is an important element in our world. The carbon moves through earth's ecosystems by the carbon cycle:

Carbon dioxide is taken from the atmosphere by plants (or other photosynthetic organisms like alge), these organism use the CO2 to make organic molecules, which travel through different organisms by food chain. The autotrophs and heterotrophs break sugars and the carbon atoms are released i respiration in CO2 form.
