Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is the source of energy and food for all organisms. It releases oxygen into the environment which is utilised by organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested as chemical energy in a process that converts water and carbon dioxide to glucose. Oxygen is released as a byproduct. In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose, releasing chemical energy and heat in the process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rate of photosynthesis influence the productivity of agricultural crops. It ensures that all living species have access to oxygen in the atmosphere. It keeps the ecosystem’s oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in check. Plants are the source of fossil fuels.
