Explain a possible path a Carbon atom might take if it began in a small animal and ended up in the stomach of a strict vegetarian.

Answer 1

Hi Gabby! It is possible that the small animal ate some sort of grass and the strict vegetarian did as well. So the Carbon atom originally in the stomach of the small animal came out when the animal breathed out, landed on the grass blades, and the strict vegetarian ate the blades of grass and consumed the carbon atom as well. Hope this helps!
