Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What gas do plants produce during photosynthesis that humans/animals need in order to live?
A
Carbon Dioxide
B
Helium
C
Nitrogen
D
Oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen as a byproduct. The oxygen given out is utilized by humans and other animals for carrying out their own cellular functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen is given off by green plants in the process of photosynthesis. Green plants are the lungs of the earth! All animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen as they make food.

Detailed explanation-3: -The oxygen that is produced is released from the same tiny holes through which the carbon dioxide entered. Even the oxygen that is released serves another purpose. Other organisms, such as animals, use oxygen to aid in their survival. The whole process of photosynthesis is a transfer of energy from the Sun to a plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration. Plants also release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -During respiration, both energy and a gas known as carbon dioxide are produced. When we breathe out, the carbon dioxide that is produced is released into the air. Plants such as trees, on the other hand, can take in this carbon dioxide, which is unusable for humans, and use it to produce their own energy.
