It eats a plant or other photosynthetic organism

Answer 1

An animal gets carbon through the following ways:

• It eats another animal that ate a plant.
• It eats a plant or other photosynthetic organism.

The statement "It takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere when it breathes in" is not applicable, as animals do not directly utilize atmospheric carbon dioxide in the same way that plants do through photosynthesis. Instead, animals primarily obtain carbon through their diet.
