The correct answer is A. Autotrophs fix carbon and produce oxygen for heterotrophs, which produce carbon dioxide for autotrophs.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, autotrophs refer to organisms such as plants that produce their energy usually through photosynthesis and by using carbon fixation, this means they take carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water and transformed in glucose used for energy and glucose that is released. On the other hand, heterotrophs such as animals are organisms that need to feed on others to obtain nutrients and energy.

These organisms related to autotrophs because some of them feed on autotrophs such as rabbits feeding on grass. But besides this, heterotrophs use the oxygen released by autotrophs during respiration and produce carbon dioxide that is taken by autotrophs. Thus, autotrophs and heterotrophs benefit one another as "Autotrophs fix carbon and produce oxygen for heterotrophs, which produce carbon dioxide for autotrophs".

garik1379 [7]

The answer would be a panic attack.

The panic attack causes the person activates the sympathetic system that them sweating and breathing fast.
Rapid breathing will cause many CO2 removed than normal, lead to lower level of CO2 in the blood. Carbon dioxide makes the blood more acid, so lower level of CO2 will make the blood become basic, cause respiratory alkalosis which causes the numbness in feet and hands.
