Question

Question 15 The model shows part of how carbon is cycled. The green box in the model represents organisms that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to recycle it. Which BEST describes these organisms? a producers that carry out photosynthesis to make carbon-rich sugars b bacteria that combine carbon dioxide with nitrogen to make nutrients c fungi that break down oxygen and release carbon dioxide in exchange d consumers that make energy by taking in carbon dioxide when they inhale

Answer 1

The organisms that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and recycle it are best described as:

**a) producers that carry out photosynthesis to make carbon-rich sugars.**

Producers, such as plants and certain algae, utilize carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to create sugars, effectively playing a crucial role in the carbon cycle by sequestering carbon.
