The carbon in carbon dioxide is recycled during photosynthesis.

The carbon in oxygen molecules is recycled during photosynthesis.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

The carbon in carbon dioxide is recycled during photosynthesis.

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere and use it to produce glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂). The carbon from the carbon dioxide is incorporated into the glucose molecules.
