Question

Name the first victim if carbon dioxide is removed from the Biosphere:

Options

• Secondary consumer

• First consumer

• Producer

• Tertiary consumer

Answer 1

Producer

Explanation:

Producers, like green plants, require carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to synthesize food. Without carbon dioxide, producers cannot perform photosynthesis, which prevents them from producing energy and sustaining the food chain. This collapse affects all other consumers in the ecosystem, making producers the first to be affected when CO₂ is removed.
