Hi there.
00:03
In this question, we are looking for a reaction that is going to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
00:16
Well, the most common form of carbon in the atmosphere is actually carbon dioxide.
00:23
So let's look at these reactions and see if we have any that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
00:29
The first one is combustion.
00:35
Combustion typically takes a substance containing carbon and hydrogen and reacts it with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide gas, which goes into the atmosphere, and water vapor.
00:55
All right.
00:55
Well, this one is not going to be our answer because this one adds to the atmosphere.
01:03
It adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
01:10
So that one is not our answer.
01:14
Let's look at the next one.
01:15
The next one is cellular respiration.
01:20
Cellular respiration looks an awful lot like combustion.
01:27
Because in cellular respiration, we have a glucose molecule, c6, h12, 06.
01:36
It combines with six oxygen molecules, and it produces six carbon dioxide and six h2o.
01:48
Again, we see carbon dioxide being added to the atmosphere...
