Answer:

D. Photosynthesis releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere Cellular respiration uses carbon dioxide​.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon dioxide is taken out of the air by the photosynthesis process to make carbon food for crops.

Animals and plants need a mechanism called respiration to remove carbon dioxide gas.

When combustibles are burned, carbon flows from fossil fuels to the air.
