Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - (Choice A) A Photosynthetic plants can move carbon from the atmosphere into an ecosystem’s food web.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process performed by photosynthetic or green plants in presence of light atmospheric carbon dioxide and water converted into glucose (6 carbon compound) and oxygen.

This glucose or sugar is utilized by the plants that are producers in the ecosystem food web. These producers are fed by consumers and carbon molecules transfer from all the trophic levels in the food chain or food web in the process.
