Answer 1

The correct statement about the movement of carbon in photosynthesis is:

Carbon dioxide moves from the air to plants, which use it to make glucose.

In photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and, using sunlight, convert it into glucose (a form of sugar) through a series of chemical reactions.
