The activity that can reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere is **recycling materials**. Recycling helps to minimize waste and decrease the need for new production, which can lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with the extraction and processing of raw materials.

Cellular respiration produces **carbon dioxide and water**.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Both **factory and vehicle emissions** and **fossils and fossil fuels** are sources of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. However, since you are looking for one specific answer, the best choice is **factory and vehicle emissions**, as they are direct human activities that contribute to carbon dioxide emissions.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response is: **carbon only moves between living and non-living ecosystems.**

The carbon cycle describes the movement of carbon through different reservoirs, including the atmosphere, living organisms, soils, and the oceans, highlighting the interaction between living (biological) and non-living (physical and chemical) systems.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response is: **photosynthesis.**

Photosynthesis by plants, algae, and some bacteria removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converts it into organic matter, which contributes to maintaining lower levels of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere compared to Venus and Mars.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response is: **atmosphere.**

Among the options listed, the atmosphere has the least amount of carbon storage compared to the surface ocean, rocks, and plant biomass. Rocks store the most carbon, followed by the ocean, and plant biomass contains more carbon than the atmosphere.
