Question

why are plants important to the carbon cycle?
plants remove carbon from the soil to help them convert nitrogen to a usable form
plants remove carbon from the atmosphere to help them convert nitrogen to a usable form
plants remove carbon from the soil to help them make glucose.
plants remove carbon from the atmosphere to help them make glucose.
