Bicarbonate is the main form of carbon storage in sea water, taken up by marine producers and converted to carbon dioxide.

Answer: E
 Bicarbonate does not relate to the rate of energy storage in organic compounds through photosynthesis (A), a straight-line sequence of steps by which chemical bond energy moves to higher trophic levels (C), the amount of energy from autotrophs available to first-level consumers (D), or particles of organic waste products/dead or partly decomposed tissues (F). It relates to the movement of a nutrient among environmental reservoirs and into and out of food webs.
