Question

put the steps of the carbon cycle in order using step 1 as your starting point. step 1: carbon dioxide is taken in by plants during photosynthesis. the cycle repeats when the carbon stored in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas is taken in. the animal releases the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere during respiration. the animal eats a plant and uses its carbohydrates for energy.

Explanation:

Plants first take in carbon - dioxide during photosynthesis. Then an animal eats the plant and uses its carbohydrates for energy. After that, the animal releases carbon - dioxide back into the atmosphere during respiration. Finally, the cycle repeats when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is taken in again.

Answer:

1. Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants during photosynthesis.
2. The animal eats a plant and uses its carbohydrates for energy.
3. The animal releases the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere during respiration.
4. The cycle repeats when the carbon stored in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas is taken in.
