Answer:

A plant absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon dioxide diffuses from the atmosphere through the stomata across the intercellular spaces to the chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The carbon dioxide reacts with hydrogen ions forming glucose. The carbon in the atmosphere is assimilated into plants reducing the amount of carbon that might lead to global warming.
