Which statement describes the relationship between plants, animals, and the carbon cycle?

a-Plants use carbon and release oxygen, and animals release carbon and use oxygen.

b-Animals use carbon and release oxygen, and plants release carbon and use oxygen.

c-Animals use carbon through respiration, and plants fix carbon through photosynthesis.

d-Plants use carbon when they decompose, and animals release carbon when they decompose.

Respuesta :

The answer is A Plants use carbon and release oxygen, and animals release carbon and uses oxygen

The correct answer is option A

The relation between the plants, animals and carbon can be described in the following way:

Plants uptake the carbon dioxide present in the environment by the process of photosynthesis that utilizes carbon dioxide to produce energy in the pressence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

During the process of photosynthesis oxygen is released into the environment to be used by the animals.

Animals uptake oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
