A student is asked to draw a food web in which the same organism is a primary consumer as well as a secondary consumer. How should the organism be represented in the food web?

• The organism must have an arrow pointing form it to a tertiary consumer and another arrow pointing from it to a decomposer.

• The organism must have an arrow pointing from it to a secondary consumer and another arrow pointing to it from the top predator.

• The organism must have a n arrow pointing to it from a producer and another arrow pointing to it from a primary consumer.

• The organism must have an arrow pointing from it to a primary consumer and another arrow pointing away from it to a decomposer.

• Less atmospheric carbon dioxide would be available to phytoplankton.

• Dissolved carbon dioxide gas in the ocean would increase because surface winds would cause a deeper circulation pattern, making more room for the gas

• Less carbon dioxide gas would be contained in the ocean because increasing precipitation would dilute the carbon entering the ocean

• Less carbon dioxide would be dissolved in the ocean because increasing atmospheric temperature would cause ocean temperatures to increase.
