What is a scavenger? vultures hyena raccoons (digging through trash) fish that eat off the floor of the ocean or lake such as catfish lions (they sometimes intimidate other animals and take their kill from them.
400

Decrease in oxygen (goes down) increase in carbon dioxide (goes up)
400

In this food chain, which organism ends up with most of the energy that is passed on from the sun: Sun>>>grass>>>rabbit>>>hawk
The grass.
500
What is photosynthesis and how does it work?
It is a process by which producers make their own food by taking in water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide and combine it with chlorophyll to produce glucose (a sugar) which is their food. the producer then releases oxygen into the atmosphere.
