Question

When animals breathe, they release carbon dioxide into the air. Which of the following is an example of an organism that uses carbon dioxide to make its own food? a mosquito b mouse c maple tree d mushroom

Answer 1

The correct answer is **c maple tree**. Maple trees, like other plants, use carbon dioxide in the process of photosynthesis to produce their own food. Mosquitoes, mice, and mushrooms do not have this capability, as they are not autotrophs and do not perform photosynthesis.
