How is carbon dioxide rempved from the air during the carbon cycle?
A
Respiration
B
Photosynthesis
C
Humification
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide naturally-and trees are especially good at storing carbon removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Plants remove carbon dioxide from the air via a process called photosynthesis. Specifically, during the light independent reactions of photosynthesis an enzyme called rubisco will capture carbon dioxide and produce sugars.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through a process called photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed the tree. But as a by-product of that chemical reaction oxygen is produced and released by the tree.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas. Each year, five and a half billion tons of carbon is released by burning fossil fuels.
