Question

Which statement describes the relationship between plants, animals, and the carbon cycle? Plants use carbon and release oxygen, and animals release carbon and use oxygen. Animals use carbon and release oxygen, and plants release carbon and use oxygen. Animals use carbon through respiration, and plants fix carbon through photosynthesis. Plants use carbon when they decompose, and animals release carbon when they decompose.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: 
A. Plants use carbon and release oxygen, and animals release carbon and use oxygen.

Answer 2

The statement that best describes the relationship between plants , animals and carbon cycle is : ( A ) Plants use carbon and release oxygen and animals release carbon and use oxygen.

Carbon cycle

In the carbon cycle plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and energy from sunlight and water to produce its food ( photosynthesis ). during photosynthesis plants give back oxygen into the atmosphere which is inhaled by animals during respiration.

Animals take in oxygen while giving out carbon dioxide as  a waste product.

Hence we can conclude that the correct statement is plants use carbon and release oxygen and animals release carbon and use oxygen.
