Will has an aquarium with water, plants, and fish that eat the plants. It is sealed so no material can get in or out, and has glass sides that allow sunlight to come in. The aquarium can also be covered to prevent light from entering. The amount of carbon in the aquarium's water started out high. Now, the amount of carbon in the water is decreasing. Is the aquarium now in sunlight or is it covered? What is happening to the number of energy storage molecules in the plants and fish as a result?

The aquarium is covered and not in sunlight

Diminishing

Explanation:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy for all life and activities on earth. The aquarium is no exception.

Green plants manufactures food in the process of photosynthesis by combining carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

Is the aquarium now in sunlight or is it covered?

Here is a feeding relationship between plants and fish in a pond. The producer here is the plants. The consumer is the fish.

Using carbon dioxide and water, plants manufactures food. When the amount of carbon starts decreasing it shows that the aquarium is covered.

The source of dissolved carbon dioxide in water is the fish which gives off this gas as it respires. When the fish ceases to respire, it does not have enough food and might have died thereby decreasing carbon dioxide levels.

What is happening to the number of energy storage molecules in the plants and fish as a result?

The energy levels in both plant and fish will begin to reduce because the plant is unable to produce food which the fish depends on.

This will furnish a rapid decline in the energy available in these living organisms since the plants are not able to produce.

Explanation:

sodium (na), for example, has one electron in its valence shell. this is an unstable state because that valence shell needs eight electrons to be full. in order to fill its valence shell, find a way to add seven electrons to its valence shell

first one is the correct answer
