Answer 1

plants get carbon from the atmosphere or bodies of water: animals get carbon from food

Step-by-step explanation:

Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth. Carbon moves from plants to animals. Through food chains, the carbon that is in plants moves to the animals that eat them. Animals that eat other animals get the carbon from their food too.
