A scientist built a model ecosystem that contains air, plants, and animals that eat those plants. The model ecosystem is sealed so no material can get in or out, but the glass sides allow light in when the scientist switches the light on. When the scientist switches the light off, the model ecosystem is in the dark. The number of energy storage molecules in the plants and animals inside the model ecosystem started out high. Then the number of energy storage molecules began to decrease. Was the decrease because the light was switched on or because it was switched off? What happened to the amount of carbon dioxide in the air? *
what are the negative effects if we continue to use fossil fuels
