Question

describe how carbon plays a part in the lion and the grass. carbon from grass doesnt end up in a lion. carbon is taken in by the grass and the lion exhales it. the lion breathes in carbon given out by the plant

Explanation:

Plants (grass) take in carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) during photosynthesis. The carbon is used to make organic compounds like glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$). When the lion eats the grass (or the animals that ate the grass), it consumes the carbon - containing organic matter. The lion then uses these organic compounds for energy through cellular respiration. In cellular respiration, the lion breaks down the organic compounds and releases carbon dioxide back into the environment.

Answer:

Carbon is taken in by the grass and the lion exhales it.
