This diagram represents the flow of energy and matter into autotrophs during photosynthesis.

diagram representing the flow of energy and matter into autotrophs during photosynthesis. Text: From the nonliving environment, Sunlight (energy), Carbon dioxide (matter), Photosynthesis (by autotrophs) In living systems, Sugars (srored energy and matter)

How does the diagram illustrate this flow of energy and matter?


A.

The arrows show that energy and matter are in different places in the nonliving system, but in the same place in living systems.


B.

The bottom arrow shows that carbon dioxide contains both energy and matter.


C.

The arrows show that photosynthesis by autotrophs happens between a nonliving system and a living system.


D.
The top arrow shows that sunlight contains energy from the Sun.
