Solution

The process that removes carbon from the atmosphere is photosynthesis.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen.

  2. The process begins when the plant absorbs sunlight, usually through its leaves.

  3. The sunlight is then used to convert the absorbed carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

  4. The glucose is used by the plant for growth and energy, while the oxygen is released back into the atmosphere.

  5. Through this process, carbon is effectively removed from the atmosphere and stored in the plant in the form of glucose.
