While carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is dissolved on the surface of bodies of water, it is removed by the photosynthesis of plants because photosynthesis includes the process of absorbing carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen.
The phytoplanktons present in the ocean utilizes the carbon dioxide present in the water. These small organism utilizes the carbon dioxide and converts it into glucose in the presence of sunlight.
Oxygen is released in water and carbon dioxide is utilized. The organism releases carbon dioxide in the water and uses oxygen released by the process of photosynthesis.
