Explanation: The energy pyramid describes how energy gets distributed through an ecosystem. The more there is of an organism on the energy pyramid, the more it gives overall to the ecosystem. The less there is of an organism, the less it gives to the ecosystem. Take the Floridian Everglades as an example. There is an abundance of sawgrass, and that makes up the foundation of the system, along with mangroves and such. But there are less of predators in the ecosystem because they only feed of of their prey like small mammals or fish. They never start the food chain, they end it.

Answer:
Plant to animal to atmosphere.
Explanation:
- The carbon cycle describes the recycling of carbon from and back to the atmosphere.
- Plants utilize the carbondioxide present in the atmosphere to produce carbohydrates in the presence of light through the process of photosynthesis.
- When plants are consumed by animals, the carbon becomes a part of the animal.
- Animals break down glucose molecules into energy (ATP), releasing water and carbondioxide in a process called cellular respiration.
- This carbondioxide, as it is useless for animal cells, is released back into the atmosphere through gaseous exchange in the lungs.
