which natural methods remove co2 from the atmosphere?

a. respiration of living organisms

b. photosynthesis by plants

c. evaporation of ocean water

d. absorption of co2 from the atmosphere by ocean water

e. melting of glacial ice

a. respiration of living organisms

D. absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere by ocean water

The correct options are B and D

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is primarily produced during respiration by animals. This carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere in two ways

Plants breath in CO₂ and breath out oxygen (O₂) during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process  by which green plants produce there own food on there own. Consider the following reaction

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

From the reaction above, the CO₂ (with water) is taken in during photosynthesis to produce glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆). The usage of CO₂ by plants assist in removing it from the atmosphere.

CO₂ can dissolve in water to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃). Based on this principle, ocean water also dissolves CO₂ from the air when air comes in contact with the ocean water.
