Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the processes listed: Photosynthesis, Evaporation, Respiration, and Combustion.
Understand the role of each process in the carbon cycle: Photosynthesis involves plants converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.
Recall the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Analyze which process involves the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere: Photosynthesis is the process where plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Conclude that Photosynthesis is the primary process responsible for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, aligning with the Law of Conservation of Mass.
