Slade Dyer · Answer 1

The correct answer is B. A tree uses photosynthesis to create energy in the form of glucose. A mouse on the other hand, is not able to use the suns energy to produce glucose through photosynthesis. Therefore the mouse must obtain the glucose by consuming other organisms, such as plants and insects.
