Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Green plants carry out photosynthesis with the presence of sunlight and produces gas X. Gas X will be used by human and animals to carry out respiration and gas Y is produced. Gas Y will be used by green plants to carry out photosynthesis.Which of the following is correct about gas X and gas Y?
A
Gas X:Nitrogen; Gas Y:Oxygen
B
Gas X:Oxygen; Gas Y:Hydrogen
C
Gas X:Carbon dioxide, Gas Y:Oxygen
D
Gas X:Oxygen; Gas Y:Carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process by which leaves synthesize their complex food with the help of chlorophyll (photosynthetic green pigment on leaves) in the presence of sunlight using carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Moreover, the oxygen humans and other animals breathe is the oxygen released during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested and converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose using water and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is released as a byproduct.
