Question

Which of the following is considered assimilation in the carbon cycle?

Answer 1

Answer:

A plant absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis

The carbon dioxide reacts with hydrogen ions forming glucose. The carbon in the atmosphere is assimilated into plants reducing the amount of carbon that might lead to global warming.
