I think the answer is b.) false
For some reason I thought it was D) cellular respiration as C) photosynthesis dealt with plants and light.
Just like any ecosystem, a self-sustaining ecosystem needs light for primary production and nutrient cycling. The environment must find an ecological balance and be able to support the survival and reproduction of all organisms living inside it
Which coefficients balance this equation? _CH4 + _O2 -> _CO2 + _H2O A. 1, 1, 1, 1 B. 1, 1, 2, 1 C. 1, 2, 1, 2 D. 2, 1, 2, 1

C. 1,2,1,2
1 CH4+ 2 O2= 1 CO2+ 2 H20.
when balancing, you need to make sure that each side has the same number of each atom. The reason for this is to abide by the law of conservation of mass; essentially you can't have more or less than you put in the equation.
When you put the coefficients of C. into the equation you have a total of 2 carbon atoms on each side, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms.
