The correct response is: The carbon in carbon dioxide is recycled during photosynthesis.
During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and use it to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). The carbon from CO2 is incorporated into organic molecules, effectively "recycling" it as part of the process.
