Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into organic compounds through the energy from sunlight. This process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thereby reducing the amount of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Exhalation by animals, burning of fossil fuels, and volcanism all release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
