the level of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has been increasing dramatically. It has been said that growing green plants would help slow this increase. The best explanation for this is that plants

• serve as food for herbivores

• serve as a nonrenewable resource

• remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during respiration

• remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis

over time, a tree that once had a total mass of 300g increased in mass to 3000 kg. This increase in mass comes mostly from

• soil that all plants need to grow

• oxygen that enters through the leaf openings

• chloroplasts that enter the roots and move to the leaves

• carbon dioxide that enters through the leaf openings
