Final answer:

Carbon stored in the ocean can be released back into the atmosphere through various processes.


Step-by-step explanation:

False. Carbon, stored in the ocean as dissolved inorganic carbon, can be released back into the atmosphere through various processes. One of the main processes is when marine organisms respire, releasing carbon dioxide into the air. Additionally, when ocean waters warm up, more carbon dioxide can be released from the ocean into the atmosphere.
