What is the name of the process that plants use to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

B
Photosynthesis
C
Respiration
D
Transpiration
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key terms in the question: 'plants', 'remove carbon dioxide', and 'atmosphere'.
Recall the basic processes that plants undergo: photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, and fermentation.
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Differentiate photosynthesis from other processes: respiration (which releases carbon dioxide), transpiration (which involves water movement), and fermentation (which is an anaerobic process not primarily related to carbon dioxide removal).
Conclude that the process by which plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is photosynthesis.
