Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
A
plant and animal respiration
B
volcanoes
C
combustion of fossil fuels
D
photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: The part of the plant that takes in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis is the stomata.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide naturally-and trees are especially good at storing carbon removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complete Answer: Plants primarily take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by their leaves. Stomata is a narrow opening on the surface of the leaves.-Stomata are cells in the epidermis of tree leaves and needles that are used in the movement of carbon dioxide and water between plants and the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: Plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere mainly through their stomata.
