First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces a general idea about carnivores and their connection to plants. It does not need another sentence for context. It does not start with a conjunction or a pronoun. It also does not use the definite article 'the' for a defined subject. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with 'Plants make their own food,' which is a specific statement and does not stand alone. Paragraph 3 starts with 'Even the carnivore,' which is not independent because it refers back to the carnivore. Paragraph 4 uses 'Chlorophyll combines,' which is specific and does not introduce a new idea. Paragraph 5 starts with 'It does this,' which refers back to the previous sentence.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the explanation of how chlorophyll works. It gives a final detail about the process of making food, showing the overall theme of the paragraphs.
