Researchers studied a typical hardwood forest containing a variety of trees, other plant species, fungi, and animals. The atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations around the forest were measured in the middle of the day. The carbon dioxide concentration was lowest right next to the forest and steadily increased as the researchers measured farther away from the forest. Explain how this observation supports the Law of Conservation of Mass.

Group of answer choices

The carbon released by animals through cellular respiration is used by the trees to create food necessary for growth and maintenance

The carbon released into the atmosphere by decaying organic matter is increases as you move further away from the forest.

The carbon released by plants through photosynthesis is quickly cycled through the cellular respiration of animals.

The amount of carbon burned by fossil fuels decreases further away from the forest.

Since the trees are using the Carbon to grow they end up absorbing most of it therefore the levels of carbon on the forest are a lot smaller in quantities.

During the process of respiration, carbon is released by animals which is used by the trees in the process of photosynthesis to produce food for itself.

The carbon released by animals through the process of cellular respiration is used by the trees in order to create food that is necessary for growth and maintenance of the plant itself and for other organisms living in that ecosystem.

In this way the plants clean the environment and reduces the concentration of carbondioxide gas in the environment so we can conclude that carbon that is produced by the animals can be used by the other organism for itself supports the law of conservation of mass.
