4. Which statement best explains C. Salmon break bonds in complex food
how salmon obtain and use mat- molecules to release the carbon, oxygen,
ter to support their biological and hydrogen atoms needed for the for-
functions? mation of other molecules.
A. Salmon use complex, car-
bon-based molecules obtained
directly from seawater and the
atmosphere to produce other
complex molecules, such as
fats.
B. Salmon use the carbon, hy-
drogen, and oxygen atoms ob-
tained directly from seawater
and the atmosphere to form sug-
ars and proteins.
C. Salmon break bonds in com-
plex food molecules to release
the carbon, oxygen, and hydro-
gen atoms needed for the forma-
tion of other molecules.
D. Salmon break down carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen atoms ob-
tained from food into smaller, en-
ergy-rich elements.

A. The presence or absence of
placodes determines whether an
organism develops feathers or
scales.

ly from a common ancestor that
had feathers.
