Question

50 POINTS!! In the carbon cycle, all animals must consume other organisms because A. they can not absorb enough carbon from water. B. they cannot absorb carbon directly from the air. C. they are in competition with plants for available carbon. D. they require carbon to perform photosynthesis.

Answer 1

C

Explanation: A fish can live in water and get carbon in the air bubbles but it's not enough carbon to thrive off of so the fish may need to eat other fish or plankton in the water. The second example A wolf would get its carbon from both the air and water but would still need extra carbons so that is why it would hunt a deer to consume its carbons. Also, the deer would get its carbons from the air, water, and grass. the grass would get its carbons from water and air. NOW DO YOU GET IT EVERYTHING IS CARBONS AND LIVES OFF OF THEM AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY!
