What compound do plants take out of the air for photosynthesis?
A
oxygen
B
water
C
carbon dioxide
D
nitrogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: The part of the plant that takes in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis is the stomata.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide naturally-and trees are especially good at storing carbon removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants take in – or ‘fix’ – carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. Some of the carbon is used for plant growth, and some of it is used in respiration, where the plant breaks down sugars to get energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, carbon dioxide will be removed from the air by this process.
