Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Thirdly, thanks to the sun linght. The plant absorbs ____ from the air through the leaves
A
Oxygen
B
Carbon dioxide
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air through tiny pores called stomata. Q. During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air through stomata.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants constantly exchange carbon with the atmosphere. Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and much of this carbon dioxide is then stored in roots, permafrost, grasslands, and forests. Plants and the soil then release carbon dioxide when they decay.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a process called photosynthesis, plants use the Sun’s energy to pull carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, and use the carbon to build stems, roots and leaves. That’s important, because in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts as a heat-trapping gas that warms the Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stomata are holes made from spaces between special cells. These holes are where plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air. Once inside the leaf, the carbon dioxide can enter plant cells. Inside the plant cells are special cell parts called chloroplasts, where photosynthesis takes place.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
