The name of the process that plants use to remove carbon from the atmosphere is known as photosynthesis.

Further Explanation;Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and algae use energy from the sun together with carbon dioxide and water to form simple sugars that are used by plants as a source of energy.Through photosynthesis carbon is removed from the atmosphere in form of carbon dioxide. The process of photosynthesis takes place in two stages;Light-dependent stage During this stage the green pigment called chlorophyll absorbs energy from sun light that is used to breakdown water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen. This process is called photolysis. The Oxygen gas produced by photolysis is either released to the atmosphere or used in respiration, while the hydrogen ions join the light-independent stage which is the second stage of photosynthesis.Light-independent stage It is the second stage of photosynthesis, also known as carbon dioxide fixation stage. During this stage the hydrogen ions form the first stage combine with carbon dioxide to form simple sugars such as glucose.The simple sugars are then used by the plant to generate energy in the form of ATP or they are stored in form of starch.

Reason other choices are incorrect;

RespirationTranspiration is the process by which plants loose excess water to the atmosphere during the day through stomata. This process is a form of excretion which releases excess water and dissolved gases from the plant to the atmosphere.RespirationRespiration refers to the process by which living organisms breakdown organic compounds such as glucose to generate energy in the form of ATP. The energy is sued to drive cellular functions such as excretion and growth.DecompositionThis is the process in which complex organic compounds are broken down into simpler substances.

Answer from: Quest

to figure the total magnification of an image that you are viewing through the microscope is really quite simple. to get the total magnification take the power of the objective (4x, 10x, 40x) and multiply by the power of the eyepiece, (usually 10x)
