Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How does carbon dioxide in the atmosphere become incorporated as carbon into living things?
A
through photosynthesis
B
through cellular respiration
C
through deposition
D
through decomposition
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, in the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis. They use energy from the sun to chemically combine carbon dioxide with hydrogen and oxygen from water to create sugar molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and much of this carbon dioxide is then stored in roots, permafrost, grasslands, and forests. Plants and the soil then release carbon dioxide when they decay. Other organisms also release carbon dioxide as they live and die.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide is a gas found in the air; plants can take in this gas through tiny holes in their leaves. Once they have water and carbon dioxide, they can use energy from sunlight to make their food. The leftovers from making the plant food is another gas called oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon is incorporated into life forms by photosynthesis by green plants.
