What best describes the association between the carbon cycle, plants, and animals? plants fix carbon and release oxygen, and animals release carbon and use oxygen. animals fix carbon and release oxygen, and plants release carbon and use oxygen. animals fix carbon through respiration, and plants fix carbon through photosynthesis. plants decompose fixing carbon, and animals decompose releasing carbon.

Answer;

Plants fix carbon and release oxygen, and animals release carbon and use oxygen

Explanation;

The carbon cycle is very important to all ecosystems, and ultimately life on earth. All living organisms are built of carbon compounds. It is the fundamental building block of life and an important component of many chemical processes.

-During respiration, animals also introduce carbon into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. The Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by green plants (producers) to make food in photosynthesis. When animals feed on green plants, they pass on carbon compounds unto other animals in the upper levels of their food chains.
