Which of the following describes a common role played by plants in the carbon cycle? (5 points) Dissolve and store carbon for long periods of time Take carbon from the atmosphere to use to make food Release carbon into the atmosphere through respiration Break down carbon stored in rocks through the process of weathering

Release carbon into the atmosphere through respiration

Explanation:

The carbon cycle is the process through which carbon travel from the atmosphere to the Earth and vice versa Carbon can be released into the atmosphere when fossils fuels are burned, organisms die, fire blaze etc.

Respiration produces energy for organisms through the combination of glucose with the oxygen that's gotten from the air. It should be noted that the glucose and the oxygen will then be changed back into energy and carbon dioxide during respiration. In this case, carbon dioxide will then be released into the atmosphere during cellular respiration
