What the heck is with the mixed capitals? Makes me dizzy just reading the question.

Now if I understand all that correctly, you're asking if the carbon dioxide on Mars is appropriate for plant life.
Since carbon dioxide on Mars is the same compound as it is on earth, no reason earth plants could exist there.

HOWEVER, there are some technical problems to solve in order to "terra-form" Mars:
Mars is a lot colder than earth.
No liquid water in any quantity (plants need water).
Less sunshine (plants need sunlight to convert minerals, water, and CO2 to plant material).
We haven't sent any plants or seeds there yet.
No gardeners or park rangers living there yet to protect the plants.
We don't know what our plants would do to any indigenous life on Mars (could contaminate that world).
We don't know what Martian bacteria or other life might do to the plants (like destroying the plants, or mutating them beyond their ability to reproduce).
No magnetic field on Mars, so no protection on the surface from solar radiation such as gamma rays or solar flares or from cosmic radiation (all these can cause damage and mutation).

That's a "Toss Up". In my opinion it is it could happen but with the cold temperatures it would be very hard and solar flares/radiation from the sun would make it very hard as well. So your answer is probably not.

The conditions there would kill any plant from Earth.
