Through photosynthesis, plants take in ____
A
air
B
oxygen
C
carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon dioxide is a gas found in the air; plants can take in this gas through tiny holes in their leaves. Once they have water and carbon dioxide, they can use energy from sunlight to make their food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere mainly through their leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: The part of the plant that takes in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis is the stomata.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants get carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves. The carbon dioxide diffuses through small holes in the underside of the leaf called stomata. (One of these holes is called a stoma. The plural is stomata.
