Question

your task
in the questions that follow, you will construct an argument about the factors that led to the appearance of 200 - cm - long millipedes during the carboniferous.
part c
which statement describes the relationship between the swamps and millipedes during the carboniferous period?
a large millipedes evolved before large swamps formed because more oxygen was available during this time.
b carboniferous millipedes released large amounts of carbon dioxide. this carbon dioxide allowed the plants to become very large.
c carbon dioxide released by a large number of plants was converted to energy by the millipedes. this allowed the millipedes to become very large.
d carboniferous plants captured carbon dioxide and released oxygen. this oxygen was converted to energy by the millipedes, allowing them to become very large.
part d

Explanation:

Durante el período Carbonífero, las plantas capturaron dióxido de carbono y liberaron oxígeno. Los milpièdes utilizaron ese oxígeno para convertirlo en energía, lo que les permitió crecer y volverse muy grandes.

Answer:

D. Carboniferous plants captured carbon dioxide and released oxygen. This oxygen was converted to energy by the millipedes, allowing them to become very large.
