Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Plants take in what gas from the atmosphere to use in photosynthesis?
A
Oxygen
B
Carbon Dioxide
C
Hydrogen
D
Helium
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: -Plants take up the water that they need from the soil through their roots. 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.
