Question

which of the following is not a direct fate of the energy flowing through photosynthesis? a. carnivores b. cellular respiration c. herbivores d. heat sinks please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

Energy from photosynthesis is directly used in cellular respiration by the plant itself. Herbivores directly consume plants and thus directly access the energy from photosynthesis. Carnivores eat herbivores, getting energy that originally came from photosynthesis through an indirect - plant - herbivore - carnivore pathway. Heat sinks are not a direct fate of the energy flowing through photosynthesis.

Answer:

D. heat sinks
