This sea grass has had the sun shining on it for most of the day. Giving off carbon allows the sea grass to make energy storage molecules. give off carbon to the air. Giving off carbon uses up energy storage molecules.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The energy-storing molecules that support life in an environment can only be produced by producers (such as sea grass). Carbon, which is present all around us in the form of carbon dioxide gas, makes up the majority of the energy storage molecules.
• Carbon dioxide molecules from the air and water are ingested by producers. Producers convert the carbon dioxide molecules into glucose and oxygen molecules by combining them with water molecules using energy from sunshine.
• Photosynthesis is the name of this process.
• One factor that contributes to some ecosystems having significantly more energy storage molecules and life than others is sunlight. Increased sunshine will increase the production of plants and algae.
• The carbon that was in carbon dioxide ends up as glucose, as can be seen if you follow the carbon atoms in this diagram of photosynthesis (an energy storage molecule).
• More photosynthesis occurs as a result of the reactions between the reactants, which include sunlight energy, carbon dioxide molecules, water molecules, glucose (a molecule that stores energy), and oxygen molecules, which include carbon atoms.
• To meet their energy needs, they remove more carbon from the atmosphere and convert it into additional molecules that can store energy.
• Consumers, or the animals that eat the producers, obtain more energy storage molecules as a result of the producers' increased production of energy storage molecules.
