Chris wrote a few steps to describe how carbon circulates between the ground and living organisms. Step 1. Plants absorb carbon dioxide in the air and use it to make their own food using photosynthesis.
Step 2. When plants or animals die, they are broken down by decomposers and their carbon returns to the soil.
Step 3. Carbon stays in the ground for long-term storage as fossilized carbon.

If step 1 is removed, which statement best describes the effects of this missing step on the carbon cycle?

1. a host loses nutrients to a parasite

2. a parasite only benefits when the host is alive (cause if the host dies the parasite dies with it )

3. producers to consumers

4. the tapeworm is a parasite

5. they convert energy from the sun (photosynthesis)

6. sunflower-robin (i think im 80% sure)

7. producer

8. consumer

9. prey

10. fresh water snails ( cause the green algea is the producer and the snails are the primary consumers and the small fish consumer so is the big fish)

what are the options
