Which path will a carbon atom most likely travel from CO2 in the atmosphere to glucose in the cell of a secondary consumer

See the answer below

Explanation:

The carbon will have to travel in the form of CO2 from the atmosphere to a primary producer (green plant), from there to a primary consumer (herbivorous animal), and finally to a secondary consumer.

The primary producer (a green plant) would fix the carbon in the CO2 to carbohydrate through a process known as photosynthesis. The equation of the process is as shown below:

The carbon, now in the form of carbohydrate, would then be picked up by an animal (a primary consumer) that feeds on the green plant. The carbon would eventually get into a secondary consumer when the secondary consumer feeds on the primary consumer that fed on the green plant.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
