What process involves plants taking carbon out of the air?

Condensation
Photosynthesis
Respiration
Transpiration

The correct answer is: Photosynthesis

The correct process that involves plants taking carbon out of the air is photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants utilize sunlight to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into glucose and oxygen. This process is crucial for plant growth and energy production, and it also plays a significant role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, making it essential for maintaining the balance of carbon in the ecosystem. In contrast, condensation refers to the process where water vapor cools and changes into liquid, which is not related to carbon uptake. Respiration is the process through which plants (and animals) convert glucose back into energy in the presence of oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere rather than taking it in. Transpiration involves the movement of water through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, primarily leaves, and does not directly involve carbon dioxide uptake.
