Answer:

Because primary producers get 100% energy consumption straight from the sun.

Explanation:

We use the energy pyramid to help us out:

.01% - A pex Predators

0.1% - Tertiary Consumers

1% - Secondary Consumers

10% - Primary Consumers

100% - Primary Producers

Because Primary Producers get 100% of the energy of the sun, they can support so many primary consumers, who only get 10% of the energy when they consume primary producers.

Carbon dioxide is released when which of the following phenomena occur?

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere by human activities. When hydrocarbon fuels ( wood, coal, natural gas, gasoline, and oil) are burned, carbon dioxide is released. During combustion or burning, carbon from fossil fuels combine with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.

These natural hydrocarbon fuels come from once-living organisms and are made from carbon and hydrogen, which release carbon dioxide and water when they burn.

Explanation:

So the answer is Fossil Fuels.
