Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following do plants take out of the air for photosynthesis?
A
oxygen
B
water
C
carbon dioxide
D
nitrogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis during the day.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Final answer: The part of the plant that takes in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis is the stomata.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. The leftovers from making the plant food is another gas called oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants absorb carbon dioxide through small openings called stomata that are on the surface of the leaf.
