Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

**Plants convert carbon dioxide into glucose during photosynthesis, and animals release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere during cellular respiration.**

This accurately describes the cycle of carbon through these processes: plants absorb carbon dioxide to produce glucose (and oxygen) during photosynthesis, while animals consume glucose and release carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.
