What do plants take from the air that helps them make food?
A
oxygen
B
nitrogen
C
carbon dioxide
D
hydrogen peroxide
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: -It’s true that plants love CO2. During photosynthesis, they take in carbon dioxide and, with the assistance of water and sunlight, make energy for themselves while releasing oxygen for us to breathe.

Detailed explanation-3: -So they take in what you exhaled, they take in carbon dioxide and they give out oxygen. And this is during the day. So during the day they take in carbon dioxide and they release oxygen.
