Answer:

C. Oxygen supply

Explanation:

Autotrophs make their own food with carbon dioxide and create oxygen as a byproduct. Heterotrophs need oxygen to create energy and create carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Therefore, if there are no autotrophs, the carbon dioxide in the air won’t be able to be used to turn to oxygen, which heterotrophs need. The heterotrophs will use up all of the oxygen in the air, leaving lots of carbon dioxide behind. This is why we need plants and trees! Thus, the answer is C.

I hope this helps! :)

Darwin realized that the often exquisite fit of species to their environment is primarily the result of
bagirrra123 [75]
Natural Selection.
An easy and important way to remember this is by thinking of a species - let’s say a bright white moth. For ages, these moths have survived beautifully, matching perfectly with the white tree bark they live on, until one day, a smoky building begins pumping its soot into the air. This air begins to change the color of the tree bark to black and the once hidden white moths are now plainly visible to birds who eat them easily. Fortunately, every now and then a moth is born who is darker than the rest - black as soot even. And so, the birds keep eating the white moths but missing the soot-colored ones. As time goes by, the soot-colored moths produce more and more similarly colored moths, who are well hidden from the birds AND after enough time, the only moths that remain are soot-colored. This is why so many species “fit” exquisitely into their environment. They have ALL adapted in some way similar to the soot-colored moth.
