When consumers breathe, carbon dioxide is released back into the environment. This breakdown of glucose and other complex organic molecules releases carbon dioxide, which is then recycled by producers.
<h3>How does carbon get moved across an ecosystem?</h3>
In the food chain, for instance, plants use photosynthesis to transfer carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere. They make sugar molecules by chemically combining water's hydrogen and oxygen with carbon dioxide using energy from the sun.
Energy travels from one trophic level to the next when primary producers absorb energy from the sun to generate glucose, which is then consumed by primary consumers, who are then consumed by secondary consumers, and so on.
