Drag the labels onto the flowchart to identify the sequence in which carbon moves through these organisms. carbon enters a high-level consumer when it eats the primary consumer. come carbon exits as feces. carbon dioxide enters a plant and is used to make sugar; which is used to build plant tissue. fungi use the carbon that is foung in the wolf's feces. a primary consumer eats the plant. the plant's carbon enters the primary consumer. cellular respiration in fungi releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

1) carbon dioxide enters a plant and is used to make sugar; which is used to build plant tissue.

2) a primary consumer eats the plant. the plant's carbon enters the primary consumer.

3) carbon enters a high-level consumer when it eats the primary consumer. Some carbon exits as feces

4) fungi use the carbon that is found in the wolf's feces.

5) cellular respiration in fungi releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The above ilustration described a food chain involving the flow of carbon in the carbon cycle.

1) A food chain always begins with a PRODUCER e.g plants which undergoes photosynthesis to make its food (glucose sugar). Carbon in form of carbondioxide (CO2), which enters through the stomata of the plant is used in the photosynthetic process. Hence, photosynthesis removes carbon from the atmosphere.

2) An organism in the next TROPHIC LEVEL of the food chain called PRIMARY CONSUMER feeds on the plants. This causes the stored carbon in the plant to be transferred to the animal (primary consumer).

3) Another consumer higher than the primary consumer i.e. secondary and tertiary consumers eat the primary consumer, causing the carbon to be transferred to it. Some of this carbon is later released as feaces (undigested).

4) A set of organisms called DECOMPOSERS in ecology, which is the fungi in this case

begins to use the carbon source in the feaces as nutrients in order to grow.

5) Finally, the fungi undergoes cellular respiration which releases the carbon in form of carbondioxide (CO2) back into the atmosphere.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
