How does carbon in a grass plant get into a lion?

• The lion eats an antelope that ate the grass

• Carbon from grass doesn't end up in a lion.

• The lion absorbs the carbon given off by transpiration

• The lion breathes in carbon given out by the plant

What is condensation? Condensation is the part of the water cycle when

• the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor. It rises from the ground into the air.

• the water vapor in the air gets cold and turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.

• clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water so it falls to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

• water leaves plants through the stoma in the underside of their leaves.
